What is FN Legislative and Regulatory Bot?
Government bill and rule pages are the intended scope of FN Legislative and Regulatory Bot. FiscalNote uses it to retrieve information from publicly available legislative and regulatory sources. The directory describes the requests as targeted and rate limited rather than a broad crawl of unrelated websites.
The public bot record does not name the individual source sites, fields collected, or FiscalNote product that receives each record. It also gives no numeric rate limit. A visit can be understood as policy-data collection, but the user agent alone cannot explain the exact record or customer workflow behind it.
Requests use FiscalNote/1.0. No official crawler IP range or signature directory is included in the available material. The directory marks robots.txt compliance as false, which means a rule for this token should not be treated as an enforceable block.
Allowing the crawler can help FiscalNote receive updates from a public legislative or regulatory source. There is no documented use for general AI search or language-model training. Its appearance on a site says nothing by itself about that site's visibility in generative answers.
