Transparency Act: Ending Hidden Laws and Requiring Bills to Be Read.
This law aims to restore legislative transparency by ensuring every bill addresses only one subject and is publicly available for 72 hours before a vote. Citizens gain the right to challenge laws passed without following these procedures, preventing unrelated policies from being hidden in massive legislative packages. This process is intended to slow down lawmaking, ensuring greater public scrutiny of spending and policy changes.
Key points
Every bill must focus on a single, clearly defined subject; unrelated provisions are automatically void.
A mandatory 72-hour waiting period after the final text is published is required before any vote can take place.
Prohibits combining unrelated policies or spending into single, massive 'omnibus' bills.
Any citizen can sue to nullify laws passed in violation of the single subject or 72-hour rules, with courts granting expedited review.
