      The Readable Legislation Act requires every bill to show the changes the bill makes to the full text of existing sections of law the bill repeals or amends.

      Without context, provisions to strike text, repeal sections, or insert new language provide little meaningful information about what the bill does.

      Requiring that bills reproduce amended sections of law and show how the bill would change them—similar to the “track changes” feature in Microsoft Word—will allow members, staff, and constituents to better understand federal legislation.

      The Searchable Legislation Act requires every bill, resolution, and document produced by Congress to be created, transmitted, and published in searchable electronic formats, consistent with recommendations from a congressional data task force the bill codifies.

          These new standards will open up the legislative process by increasing access to congressional documents.

          I think this is an honorable effort to make government more transparent. Unfortunately it's coming from a Representative who voted in favor of sweeping tax legislation that had passed the Senate with handwritten chicken scratch on it. I like you Justin but that was disappointing.

          Dear Lord, what will that cost?!? You could get temps to do the data processing...but new hires get federal retirement and health benefits packages which are astronomical. Is it worth it??

          Hey Justin so glad to see that you're spending your time so wisely. While children and teachers are being murdered in school because of your NRA bloodmoney you could be doing something productive like banning assault weaponspic.twitter.com/caWtYNPJbS
