An Act to simplify the language used by state agencies

This bill directs state agencies to simplify the language on their websites so that information is easy for the average resident to understand. It requires the chief digital officer to ensure web content covers common public issues and matches the reading level of Massachusetts residents as determined by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Additionally, the law mandates that these agencies provide non-digital alternatives, such as printed materials, for the simplified information. The changes apply to all executive offices and agencies within the Commonwealth.
