Goals and Objectives

The purpose of this RFP is to solicit recommendations that will include tools and a preferred process to provide meaningful and useful equity assessments for proposed legislation. The recommendations must take into account the volume of bills introduced each session, need for timely analysis, staffing and fiscal costs, data limitations that need to be addressed, and ease of use. The recommended process should also include a suggested IT platform to submit and review the statements and a location where the statements can be publicly accessible.

The preferred tool and process should lead to information that will help the state and lawmakers identify potential unintended and unanticipated adverse consequences that may be the result of proposed legislation, and/or identify potential opportunities for proposed legislation to promote social justice, equity, and access.
