  • Add links from occurrences of D.C. Law __-___ in text to LIMS page for corresponding bill. Need to get mapping from law number to bill number from Dave Zvenyach. One you have the bill number, the URL is just a matter of substituting that in as the LegNo URL parameter to get something like http://dcclims1.dccouncil.us/lims/legislation.aspx?LegNo=B20-0120. The LIMS URLs sometimes also have Description and ID parameters, but they don't seem to be necessary (either LegNo or ID is needed, but you don't need both, and Description does nothing).

  • Figure out some way for people to take law text and add visible edits to it in a form that can be printed out and shared.

  • The GET hack only works for bills, not laws. For example, http://dcclims1.dccouncil.us/lims/legislation.aspx?LegNo=B19-0663 works (the bill that was debated), but http://dcclims1.dccouncil.us/lims/legislation.aspx?LegNo=L19-0129 doesn't work (the corresponding law was passed). The links in the dccode are laws, not bills.

  • Grovelling through the source, there's a FullLegNo parameter, which doesn't seem to trigger anything.

  • The search appears to be fuzzy. Searching for L19-12 brings up a page for law L19-0129
