Bill Analysis for the People

In 1979 Oregon , the Legislature passed  Senate Bill 543 that required a bill analysis, a public document that explains what a bill does, should be written to be read by an 8th or 9th grader. This translates to the bill analysis being measured by a score of at least 60 on something called the Flesch readability test. Turns out the Oregon Legislature forgot about this rule, and its come up in 2023 as a means to enforce procedural rules. Republicans are trying to enforce the 1979 rule today.
