• type is the type of bills; options are introduced, updated, active, passed, enacted, vetoed
• numFrom is the offset number beginning range: for example, 1 will get the first 20 bills
• numTo is the offset number to: for example, 40 will get bills 40 to 60. Entering numFrom as 1 and numTo as 40 will return bills 1 to 60
