Great proposal. How does this interact with existing state-level regulations?
The reporting requirements seem excessive for smaller organizations. Add a tiered approach based on size.
This would directly affect my community. I have some suggested changes to make it more practical.
This needs a sunset clause. Pass it as a 5-year pilot and evaluate results before making it permanent.
Mixed feelings. The goal is right but there are simpler ways to achieve the same outcome with less bureaucracy.
The enforcement mechanism needs to be stronger. Without teeth, this becomes another unfunded mandate.
I'd support this with one change — thresholds should be adjusted for regional cost differences.
