Thousands of bills move through Congress and the Oregon legislature every year. Almost no one reads them. We turn legislation into 30-second, non-partisan reads — so you can decide for yourself.
Directs $4B toward expanding high-speed internet in counties with under-served populations. Sets a 2028 buildout deadline and requires providers to publish coverage maps. Funds come from existing telecom fees, not new taxes.
Lets cities approve duplexes and townhomes faster by limiting how long reviews can take. Applies to towns over 25,000 people. Supporters cite housing supply; critics cite local control. Does not change zoning itself.
Requires large retailers to reduce single-use plastic packaging by 25% within five years. Sets recyclability standards and shifts responsibility to producers. Exempts small businesses under $2M annual revenue.
We pull directly from official legislative records — not from opinion pieces or partisan outlets — then translate the legalese.
Bills are pulled directly from official records at the federal level and from Oregon, Washington, and California legislatures.
Each bill is distilled into a structured, ~30-second read: what it does, who it affects, and exactly where it stands.
We don't tell you what to think. You get the facts, a link to the source, and the room to form your own view.
Summaries explain what a bill does — never whether you should support it. No loaded language, no endorsements.
Where a bill is contested, we note the case for and against in neutral terms, without taking one.
Every read points back to the official bill text. Don't trust us — verify us.
We're launching with federal legislation and Oregon. More states and municipal coverage come next.
Most people want to be informed citizens. Almost no one has time to read a 200-page bill — so we rely on headlines and hot takes that are built to provoke, not to inform.
"An informed public shouldn't require a law degree and a free afternoon."
Unpassable exists to close that gap. We don't think your time should be the barrier between you and understanding the laws that shape your life. And we don't think you need to be told what to believe — just what's actually happening.
