Contact

Reaching the editorial and research team behind LegislationAuthority.com connects researchers, educators, legal professionals, and civic practitioners with the staff responsible for maintaining the site's reference content on U.S. federal and state legislative processes. This page identifies the appropriate channels for substantive inquiries, describes the geographic and subject-matter scope of the resource, and sets realistic expectations for response timelines and message formatting.

How to reach this office

Correspondence directed to LegislationAuthority.com is handled through the site's official web-based contact form, accessible from the main navigation menu. Email submissions are the primary channel; no telephone support is provided for general public inquiries.

Two distinct inquiry tracks exist, and selecting the correct one improves routing speed:

1. Editorial and factual corrections — For flagging errors in published content, outdated statutory references, or citation inaccuracies on pages such as How a Bill Becomes a Law, Veto Override Process, or Federal vs. State Legislation.
2. Research and reference inquiries — For substantive questions about locating primary legislative sources, understanding the scope of a specific page such as Statutory Interpretation or Codification of Laws, or requesting clarification on how content sections are structured.

Unsolicited commercial correspondence, legal service requests, and lobbying-related solicitations fall outside the scope of this contact channel and will not receive a response.

Service area covered

LegislationAuthority.com operates as a national-scope reference resource covering U.S. federal legislation and the legislative processes of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Content spans the full legislative lifecycle — from Bill Introduction Process through Presidential Action on Legislation — and addresses constitutional foundations under Article I of the U.S. Constitution.

The site does not provide jurisdiction-specific legal advice, representation referrals, or case analysis tied to any individual's legal circumstances. Subject-matter coverage is organized across four broad domains:

1. Federal legislative structure — including the roles of the House of Representatives, Senate, and Congressional Committees
2. Legislative mechanics and procedure — including Floor Debate and Voting, Reconciliation Process, and Filibuster and Cloture
3. Constitutional basis and limits — including the Commerce Clause, Necessary and Proper Clause, and Supremacy Clause and Preemption
4. Civic engagement and legislative tracking — including How Citizens Can Influence Legislation and Tracking Legislation in Congress

Inquiries falling within these 4 domains are processed by the team most familiar with the underlying content.

What to include in your message

Messages that include complete identifying information and a clear description of the issue are resolved significantly faster than those requiring follow-up clarification. The following structured format is recommended:

1. Subject line — A brief phrase identifying the page title or topic (e.g., "Correction — Legislative Markup Process page").
2. Page URL or slug — The specific page address where the issue appears, or the topic area being referenced.
3. Description of the issue or question — A factual, specific statement. For corrections, identify the exact passage and the source supporting the correction, citing a named public document such as a U.S. Code section, a Congressional Research Service report, or a Government Publishing Office publication where applicable.
4. Contact information — A valid reply email address. Anonymous submissions will not receive a response.
5. Affiliation (optional) — Academic institution, government agency, legal practice, or other organizational context, if relevant to the nature of the inquiry.

Messages omitting items 1 through 4 from the list above are classified as incomplete and held pending clarification before routing.

Response expectations

The editorial team processes incoming messages during standard U.S. business hours, Monday through Friday. The target response window for editorial correction submissions is 5 business days from receipt of a complete, properly formatted message. Research and reference inquiries involving more complex content review — for example, questions touching the intersection of Regulations vs. Legislation and Executive Orders vs. Legislation — may require up to 10 business days.

Incomplete messages, messages sent to the wrong inquiry track, or submissions requesting individual legal advice are not guaranteed a response within any defined window.

Factual corrections accepted by the editorial team are logged, reviewed against named primary sources — including the Office of the Law Revision Counsel (OLRC), Congress.gov (congress.gov), and the Government Publishing Office (GovInfo) — and, if verified, integrated into the next scheduled content update cycle. Submitters do not receive notification of individual content changes following acceptance of a correction.
