As a prerequisite to voting on a bill, each legislator must certify having read the bill and publish their comments.

Reading a bill, before voting for it is the most basic function of a legislator.
Communicating their reasoning is the most basic form of transparency and accountability.

Our legislators need to actually read the bills they pass.
We need to know where they stand on each area of a bill.
- which areas they agree with,
- which areas they disagree with,
- why they decided to vote the way they did.
