Issue Position: The Platform - TAKE IT BACK: DECISION MAKING

Issue Position

Establish two citizen oversight committees for every bill coming out of the Legislature and give them teeth:

Independent, non-partisan committee of experts in the field the bill addresses

A committee of representatives chosen by vulnerable and marginalized stakeholders in every issue the bill addresses, as self-determined by those communities (rather than the state)

All bills are required to have plain language versions available in multiple languages made available online concurrently with the bill text

Create public education programs in all counties for all bills introduced in the Legislature:

Includes public information sessions that reflect the logistical needs of parents, working people, English as a Second Language (ESL) folks, the elderly, unhoused people, disabled folks, and people who have to commute.

Includes abundant opportunities to provide feedback to and meaningfully engage with representatives
