Read the Bills Act: Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in Lawmaking.
This act aims to increase transparency and accountability in the lawmaking process. It requires citizens and their representatives to have full access to bill texts before voting, preventing hidden provisions and ensuring better understanding of new regulations. This will allow citizens to better assess the impact of new laws on their lives.
Key points
All bills must be publicly available online 7 days before a vote, in an easily searchable format.
Each bill must clearly state its constitutional basis and how it amends existing law.
Before a vote, the full text of a bill must be read in Congress, and members must confirm they have read or listened to it.
Citizens gain the right to challenge laws that do not meet these new requirements, increasing their influence on the legislative process.
