<p>Closely watching legislation progress through the House can be difficult, especially given the discretion the Speaker and the Rules Committee have in scheduling and controlling the floor.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.rules.house.gov/">House Rules Committee</a> is making legislation a little easier to follow online, by voluntarily posting updates of special rules, as they are approved, to their website <a href="http://www.rules.house.gov/rss.aspx?GroupTypeID=2">in a structured format</a>.  This means that you can receive updates on newly approved special rules that structure floor consideration for impending bills.  They&#8217;re also offering a <a href="http://www.rules.house.gov/rss.aspx?GroupTypeID=9">feed of amendments</a> submitted to the committee.</p>
<p>The only way to get faster updates would be to attend the committee hearing.</p>
