# Local legislation (preview)

`POST /api/locus_local_legislation`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.locus.report`
- URL: `https://api.locus.report/api/locus_local_legislation`
- Auth: none required

Returns one headline bill on zoning, land use, ADU, rentals, tax, landlord-tenant, or eminent domain for an address, cited to LegiScan and Legistar where wired. Use status and one-line consequence before treating it as law. Enacted items lead; others are WATCH. Full text is in the paid brief. Not legal advice or a parcel ruling.
Use this when you need one current headline bill for an address.
Use locus-local-policy-brief instead when you need the full matched set, bill-text provisions, status history and property-class mapping; use locus-local-legislation (same records) when your client can only call paid x402 routes. Direct flat-body route for this one free resource; no API key, payment, or catalog wrapper. Return only the cited bounded evidence described here; this route never produces a paid brief or full report.

## Request body
