In 2026, Speaker Robert Rivas announced 16 Assembly members participating in this year’s inaugural, first-of-its-kind Outcomes Review project, a new oversight tool designed to evaluate whether enacted laws are delivering real-world results for California taxpayers.
This tool empowers lawmakers to assess, review and improve implementation of enacted laws they’ve authored or championed — aiming to strengthen community engagement and improve outcomes for Californians.
With 2026’s Outcomes Review project, lawmakers are focusing on diverse issues, including housing, affordability, energy, health care, worker protections, wildfire recovery, foster care and more.
You can use the following Outcomes Review Tracker to monitor the 15 bills that are being reviewed under the 2026 cohort:
