The proposed bill aims to enhance access and representation in policy-making processes for individuals with direct lived experience, particularly from underrepresented populations. It emphasizes the importance of including these individuals in decision-making bodies such as task forces, advisory committees, and councils that address issues directly affecting them. The bill outlines specific membership requirements for these statutory entities, mandating that they include representatives from underrepresented populations who have direct lived experience with the issues being examined. The Office of Equity is designated as the appointing authority for additional members to ensure diverse representation.

Furthermore, the bill requires statutory entities to report their activities and demographic information to the Office of Equity, which will compile this data and provide an evaluation to the governor and legislature. The Office of Equity is also tasked with identifying barriers to participation for underrepresented populations and recommending modifications to improve access to policy-making processes. The act is officially titled the "Nothing About Us Without Us Act," highlighting its commitment to inclusive governance.
