What if there were an easy way to get some numbers and information from recent bills, and cut through the hype to make some interesting mathematical observations? This might be useful for those who are studying law or mathematics – or anyone wanting to dig through the numbers in recent law. With some basic PHP we can build something that easily processes and shows which might be the most interesting for mathematicians.

The code is interesting, but not sure what the aim is (what are we trying to compare/understand?), and the example bill (copying the text was also not easy) returns just a title of the sections and subsections. Not sure where the maths is here.

This is barely related to mathematics, this is just a PHP for looking up numbers in a text file.
