Overview
This bill updates the California Legislative Information System to include position letters submitted through the Legislature’s internet portal. Currently, the system makes available bill text, history, status, and committee analyses. This change will ensure that all position letters, which represent support, opposition, or neutrality regarding a bill, are also publicly accessible online. This enhances transparency in the legislative process.
