Abstract:
Legislative processes have evolved over time to support the deliberation and decision making of legislators. Automating these processes can make important information available sooner to a broader audience of people. At the same time, the culture associated with the legislative process needs to be preserved. This case study looks at how the Florida State Senate is undertaking a major refresh of its technology, using this opportunity to automate the publishing of key documents, tying in the legislative information with the overall IT system using XML and related standards for the integration.
