Issued by: SayPro Legislative Impact Assessments Research Office
Date: January 2025
Research Report: SCRR-15
Subject: Development of Feedback Prompts for Legislative Impact Assessment

Introduction

The SayPro Legislative Impact Assessments Research Office, under the SayPro Research Royalty from Prompt Generation Template, has been tasked with creating a comprehensive set of 100 questions for a specific legislative action or policy initiative. These questions are designed to guide feedback on the potential impact, risks, and benefits that such legislation may have on a particular stakeholder group.

This document provides the detailed methodology behind the creation of the list of questions and offers a structured approach to evaluating the legislation’s effects. The purpose of this research is to assist in gathering targeted, actionable feedback from stakeholders who will be most affected by the legislation. The findings will be used to enhance future legislative analysis and ensure policies are designed with robust stakeholder engagement.

Scope of Research

The focus of this research is on creating a set of questions for the legislative impact assessment process. These questions will be used to solicit responses from specific stakeholder groups and provide a framework for understanding the broader implications of proposed or enacted legislation.

Research Objective

The primary objective is to develop 100 questions that will allow a thorough exploration of the potential impacts, risks, and benefits of the specified legislative action. The questions should aim to gather insights on:

• How the legislation will affect the targeted stakeholder group.
• The short-term and long-term risks associated with the legislation.
• The anticipated benefits for the stakeholders.
• Any gaps or areas for improvement in the proposed legislative action.
