A special Task Force created to study the impact of moving the legislature from paper to electronic files will convene a public hearing Thursday afternoon to hear some of the concerns being expressed by lawyers, the State Librarian, lobbyists and members of the public. In what was purely a budgetary decision, the Committee on Legislative Management convened the Task Force to make recommendations on which printed documents should be eliminated in order to save money. Among the concerns raised: the elimination of written transcripts of committee hearings would damage the ability of courts to establish legislative intent and the inaccessibility of the electronic data when the website crashes or when bills are not available online (as has occurred in the past) would lessen government transparency rather than broaden it.
