analysis of 'inactive' bills' timeframe & sponsor threshold

[davidmooreppf]

Not pressing, couple of research Q's for icebox.

Per #128, the /search filter for "inactive" is set to no action for six months.

Seems reasonable that captures most stalled bills, but it would be cool to know the statistic - either, that (say) 99% of laid-over-for-six-months bills are not passed by cmte.,

... or that the timeframe is (say) actually three months, that 99% of bills without a cmte. hearing in three months aren't passed by cmte.

Similarly, just to pile-on to this very-late wish-list issue, would be cool to know the threshold of number of co-sponsors at which point the bill is likely to be passed (probably easier than determining "active in this case) - 10, 12?

And when a bill is on fast-track to be passed & approved into law, e.g. 26+ sponsors, say.
