LANSING – Gongwer News Service has launched new services that allow subscribers to receive bill tracking alerts, breaking news updates and other key Gongwer products via text message.
To activate text alerts, subscribers should log in to their accounts, click on their name in the banner and select “Update Profile.” Next, enter your mobile number and carrier, and select the alerts and messages you want to receive via text. Once your preferences have been set, click the “Update” button at the bottom of the box.
The system allows subscribers to request text notifications regarding the publication of the Gongwer Michigan Report, breaking news updates, media clips and legislative floor reports. Subscribers can also request real-time bill tracking alerts, a daily summary of activities on all tracked bills, or both.
Alert preferences can be changed at any time.
Due to limitations on the size of text messages, all text-based alerts will include a summary of the message received and a link to the full content of the message.
The new services are available to subscribers at no additional cost.
All Gongwer accounts include access to the leading bill tracking system that offers real-time alerts on legislation of interest. Subscribers can track by bill number, keyword, sponsor and Michigan Compiled Law section and can also receive alerts based on legislative activity, committee scheduling and subject area. All bill tracking features, which include customizable bill status reports that can be shared with members and clients, are available on Gongwer’s Bill Tracking page.
