The presence of an acronym does not come with a guarantee that the extended version created by a consumer will match the intent of the author. My Civil Duty applies a wide variety of acronyms that have multiple versions that serve the purpose of the conversation the acronym is used in.
For example, the acronym “LOL” might commonly extend to “Laugh Out Loud,” however we use it to help explain and discuss the Layers of Laws we all are expected to abide by at any given moment.

The 2024 My Civil Duty project that created the most comprehensive calendar of local government meetings has it’s roots in another website, LocalLawBooks.com.
When you go to a public meeting or read an agenda, there will be times a public body will be proposing a law or by-law. While the calendar below provides opportunity to learn of proposed legislation and perhaps make public comment, being able to review existing laws is critical to this portion of the public oversight process.
So congrats to LocalLawBooks.com for once again being the most comprehensive index of local laws!!!

We are excited to be revving up behind the scenes for some major updates to our already most comprehensive calendar of public body public meetings from our 2024 efforts. Stay tuned!
