Bill overview
This bill requires the Research Division of the Legislative Counsel Bureau to prepare ‘health notes’ for proposed legislation. These notes will assess whether a bill or resolution is likely to disproportionately impact the health and well-being of specific groups, including racial and ethnic minorities, low-income communities, seniors, and children. The bill also mandates that state agencies provide assistance to the Research Division in creating these notes and protects the confidentiality of the information gathered.
