California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 15, 2026

What AB 2360 does, verified August 15, 2026

The bill aims to improve the clarity and accessibility of government documents. It requires state agencies to write documents in plain language, avoiding technical terms whenever possible, and to use a coherent and easily readable style. This applies to both digital and printed documents. The bill also requires each state agency to create a plain language policy, which outlines how the agency will incorporate plain language writing and design principles and practices. The agency must designate a senior official to oversee the implementation of these provisions.
