UCWC Public Policy and Legislation Work Group
At the start of every legislative session, we identify proposed state legislation that aligns specifically with our mission. We track those bills and work with legislative sponsors and coalitions to advance them through the legislative process. We also identify and support a broader set of initiatives through endorsements.
Legislative Oversight Responsibilities
- Researching priority state legislation that aligns with our mission
- Consider limited legislation to recommend for letters of support
- Find the sponsors/cosponsors and coalitions for bills selected
- Track legislative priority bills

How to Track a Bill
Have you ever wondered how to track a piece o state legislation? Senator Becca Rausch (D-Franklin) put together this easy guide for following bills that you might be interested in. You can see who the House and Senate sponsors are for each piece of legislation, see what committee the bill is assigned to, and review how the committee voted (or did not vote).
This guide makes it easier to follow the process and keep up to date on various pieces of legislation.
We hope you find this helpful.
