Revision history for WebChecks
Additions:
**NOTE:** If you are conducting a web check on a congressional bill, make sure that the bill is dead and will no longer have any future action. Also, when going through Thomas or Congress.gov, make sure to view "all congressional actions" and not just the "major congressional actions". Otherwise, you may miss other statuses, including referred to committee statuses.

This refers to the final check in the Key Votes process, after the summary has been released live, and before the summary gets archived. Unlike vote checks and summary checks, this check is performed on the live website. Also unlike summary checks, a web check does not review the substance of the summary itself - there is no need to check the facts of the summary against the bill text or press (unless you spot what appears to be a glaring error during the web check). Rather, this is a check for presentableness and consistency. Don't let that fact downplay the importance of a web check. Although priority is given to vote checks and summary checks, web checks are very important for two reasons:
~1) It will likely be the last check of an entry on the website, and thus the last chance to fix any errors.
~1) It is essential for maintaining consistency, which the Department emphasizes a great deal.

Any corrections that are spotted during a web check must be addressed immediately both in admin and on the bill summary sheet. Upon completing a web check, print a new copy of the bill summary sheet that includes any changes that were made. The physical folder can then be archived.
