Overview

May 4

State agencies need to track dozens – if not hundreds – of pieces of legislation every year. Policymakers and agency leaders want to know exactly where a bill is in the legislative process, what amendments have been attached to it, how much they’ve spent working on it and much more.

Too many agencies still rely on spreadsheets to track legislation. That means manual processes and repetitive, time-consuming data entry and resource-intense work for already-shorthanded agency teams.

With modern bill-tracking software, however, public sector organizations can automate those legacy processes and free up agency staff to focus on more substantive work. Join Government Technology on May 4 as our panel of industry experts discuss how the right bill-tracking software can reduce or even eliminate clunky, manual workflows.

As a participant in this 30-minute webcast, you’ll learn how a modern solution enables you to:

Set keyword alerts to find relevant bills
Track speed and satisfaction of legislative interactions
Gather performance metrics for end-of-session legislative analysis
