Looks like overlap and confusion between this issue and what a glossary is for the glossary work. left a comment in the doc, I think that doc is better repurposed for this issue as the content covers the needs of this issue moreso than a glossary.

[sylvia-nam]

@SamHyler there isn't overlap. The associated doc is linked in the UXR glossary that you ref. Adding related doc on laws to original issue

@sylvia-nam is this a one-time task to be done, or is it something that needs to be done on a recurring basis?

[sylvia-nam]

@raeraeicky it is a recurring need

[raeraeicky]

@raeraeicky it is a recurring need

In that case, since this is a first iteration that includes creating documents, I would suggest we do this one time and set a deadline for that to be done, and then one of the action items would be to determine how often this is repeated (every 6 months? annually? more frequently, but on. a smaller scale?). Let me know what you think! cc: @saraisabelcf

[sylvia-nam]

Sounds good @raeraeicky. One option is to set it annually every summer given how the legislative year is structured + ad hoc changes based on fall election props
