Bill Search
This method returns just a subset of the bill fields by default.
NOTE: *** This method never uses the cache. Use with caution. ***

Filter Parameters

The following parameters filter the returned set of bills, at least one must be provided.
Use null for any parameter that is not used.

@param state - Only return bills from a given state (e.g. 'nc')
@param updated_since - Only bills updated since a provided date (provided in YYYY-MM-DD format)

The API will not return exceedingly large responses, so it may be
necessary to use page and per_page to control the number of results returned:
@param page - Page of results, each of size per_page (defaults to 1)
@param per_page - Number of results per page, is unlimited unless page is set, in which case it defaults to 50.

@return {@link Bills}
