Legislative Tracking

The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) is a key resource for individuals who are interested in legislation that is being proposed and enacted upon at the state level. The NCSL Web site provides general information concerning justice information systems, as well as sample state statutes and links to other sources of information. NCSL tracks legislation that directly affects integrated justice information systems projects and initiatives. They have also produced the NCSL National Bill Text and Status System that tracks and categorizes bills into specific topic areas.

Authorizing Legislation

Governance legislation and executive orders are often used to establish justice information sharing and technology integration programs. These acts institutionalize support for a program and can include the project purpose, organizational and governance information, and the roles and responsibilities of organizational members. Comparative review of this type of information can help in the development of new programs and governance structures.
