Require all bills to be written at an 8th grade reading level so that all citizens can read and understand them.

Created by K.H. on January 29, 2013

As the reading level of a large number of US citizens can not read above an 8th grade reading level (The Practice of Patient Education: A Case Study Approach By Barbara Klug Redman), I propose all bills brought before congress be written in common English at an 8th grade level.

As a citizen who tries to be informed and would like to know our legislators are acting in our best interests when presenting federal and state laws.
