Tracking Hearings & Markups with CQ

CQ's Committee Coverage provides a rundown of what happens during committee hearings, including a comprehensive summary, links to important amendments, full vote breakdowns, agendas, rosters of witnesses and more - all delivered within 24 hours

Tracking the committees, hearings and markups you care about is as simple as setting an alert using CQ's Committee Coverage as a source. 

Setting your Email Alert

Follow the steps outlined in the link attached to the image below to create an email alert that will update you when a bill you're tracking goes through markup. 

 

Is Committee Coverage different from committee reports?

Yes! Committee Coverage is proprietary to CQ, meaning that the coverage is written by CQ's research and editorial teams. Therefore, the information is released much faster than committee reports - usually within 24 hours. 

You can also access coverage of hearings and markups going back to the 101st Congress (1989) by using the search filter by date.

Markups are done by Senate and House committees. They publicly release what happened during a markup in a committee report. This is a publicly available report available to everyone. Additionally, CQ provides committee reports and their own in-house markup coverage (CQ Committee Coverage) which means we send our own reporters to markups to also cover the event. This offers a more comprehensive summary of what happened during a markup, includes amendments, vote breakdowns and often comes out earlier than committee reports.
