A Look Inside Legislative Technology
This session will examine how legislatures are using state of the art
technology to handle processes critical - and in most cases - unique to
state legislatures. Innovative approaches to document management and processes
such as amendment processing and automated bill proofing will be discussed.
The session will be divided into two segments. The first segment will involve
panelists explaining how their states use technology to assist the legislative
processes. Following the panel discussion, a technology fair will showcase
the systems discussed during the panel discussion.
