How policymaking software can ease an administration change
Our latest guide walks you through how to develop a policy game plan to set up incoming administrations for success.
There are 36 gubernatorial elections in November 2022, and many newly-elected officials will take office in the next six months. Outgoing administrations are beginning to create transition plans and need a way to equip incoming administrations with the historical context required to be successful. Inversely, newly-elected officials need a seamless way to onboard into their new role, implement fresh policy ideas and leverage new policymaking software or tools. This guide walks you through how to develop a policy game plan for administration changes. Below are some of the most important questions and information to capture and share between outgoing and incoming governments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Esper’s Regulation & Code Management module is a platform that moves rulemaking and regulatory drafting out of disconnected tools (spreadsheets, emails, shared drives) and into a unified, auditable workflow. It supports collaborative drafting, version control, automated publishing, compliance deadlines, and AI-powered search across your regulations. Esper
Esper is primarily targeted at government agencies (state, local, regulatory bodies) that must manage, publish, and enforce rules, codes, or regulations. It helps modernize the regulatory process in a transparent, auditable fashion.
Some of the core features include:
- Collaborative drafting with versioning and redlines
- Workflow and approval routing (assign owners, set deadlines, send reminders)
- Automated publishing in appropriate formats
- AI-enabled search to quickly find portions of regulations with citation support
- Task management and visibility into bottlenecks
Esper maintains all drafts, redlines, and versions within a single system. That ensures every change is tracked, auditable, and tied to the appropriate approval steps, so stakeholders can always see “who changed what when.”
Every rulemaking task (e.g. drafting, review, public comment, approval) is assigned an owner and due date. The system sends reminders, tracks overdue items, and makes bottlenecks visible so leadership can intervene.
