All TRRI clients with access to North American content will automatically be able to utilize the FiscalNote implementation.

"We are delighted to be partnering with FiscalNote to add predictive insight and tracking of U.S. legislation to Thomson Reuters Regulator Intelligence," said Marion Leslie, managing director, Pricing, Reference & Regulatory Services at Thomson Reuters.
