Abstract: Over a decade has passed since the first federal legislation was enacted mandating that federal agencies use plain language in certain communications with the public. The Plain Writing Act of 2010 was a positive step forward, but a new — and better — law is on the horizon. The Clear and Concise Content Act of 2023 has been introduced in the Senate. This bipartisan bill has the potential to make greater strides toward plain writing in the federal government, achieving better transparency and accessibility for the public.
