## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

Bills (proposed laws) are specialized, structured documents with great public significance.
Often, the language of a bill may not directly explain the potential impact of the legislation.
This dataset collects the text of bills and some metadata.
As a result, this dataset collects bill text; it also provides text as a list of sections with the text and header.

策划理由

法案（提出的法律）是具有重大公共意义的专门结构化文件。通常，法案的语言可能不会直接解释立法的潜在影响。该数据集收集法案文本和一些元数据。因此，该数据集收集法案文本；它还提供文本作为带有文本和标题的部分列表。
