What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill directs the Department of Administration to ensure that each state

agency and authority that maintains a site on the Internet includes on the home page

of that site at least one telephone number clearly shown in bold type at which the

agency or authority may be contacted for general information, as well as a link that

enables a visitor to the site to access the telephone numbers for other functional

subunits of the agency or authority and the telephone number of each officer and

employee of the agency or authority who is assigned to a work station equipped with

a telephone, unless the agency or authority can demonstrate that the public interest

requires that the name and telephone number of an employee be withheld from

disclosure.

Currently, there is no similar requirement.

What it would cost

Fiscal estimates filed by state agencies, as official PDFs
