Legislative Budget Office demos '3rd reading' drafting app to staff
Summary
Legislative staff were shown the '3rd reading' bill-drafting and workflow system in a Legislative Budget Office demo. Presenters emphasized test-environment access, template-driven drafting, and invited staff to stress-test features ahead of the 2025 session.
Leigh Brown, project manager with the Legislative Budget Office, opened a training session for legislative staff and described the session as a hands-on demonstration of a new drafting tool. "My name is Leigh Brown, and I am with the legislative budget office," she said, and asked attendees to try the system and file issues so developers can refine the product.
A presenter guided the group through basic navigation and the test environment, stressing that "This is a test environment. You can't hurt anything," and encouraging users to log in, try features, and submit feedback. The demo covered dashboards, role-based views (admins vs. chamber-specific users), request creation, and how templates keep draft language consistent.
Staff were told to use Google Chrome for testing and were invited to attend follow-up office hours to work through detailed drafting scenarios. The presenter and LBO staff committed to tracking bugs and feature requests via a shared spreadsheet for triage with developers.
