Plain language: It's the law, and a good idea
When government writers use plain language, the audience finds what it needs, understands what it finds, and uses what it finds to meet its needs.
State agencies are encouraged to use these resources to promote use of plain language to meet the standards of Oregon's plain language law,
ORS 183.750.
