How to Access and View CQ Documents Directly Inside PolicyNote

Policy professionals often rely on CQ  reporting to understand what is happening inside committees, hearings, and legislative negotiations. PolicyNote integrates this information so users can view CQ documents directly within the platform without needing to leave the bill page.

When integrated into PolicyNote, this content allows users to:

• View committee-level reporting related to a bill

• Read procedural updates from congressional meetings

• Access legislative analysis without navigating to a separate platform
