A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE PRINTING, INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS FOR ITS NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE APPLICATION OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, WHICH CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA FINISHING SECOND IN THE DIGITAL DEMOCRACY PORTION OF THE 2001 DIGITAL STATE SURVEY.

Whereas, the Center for Digital Government and the Progress and Freedom Foundation recently completed the fourth annual Digital State Survey; and

Whereas, this prestigious and comprehensive study measures how effectively the fifty states are using digital technologies to improve the delivery of vital services and information; and

Whereas, the Digital Democracy portion of this important survey examines the application of digital technologies to permit online access to legislative information, election materials, voter and candidate information, and electronic voting; and

Whereas, the Office of Legislative Printing, Information and Technology Systems was particularly recognized for its excellent web site, "scstatehouse.net", and the invaluable access it provides the public to their elected representatives and the legislative process by enabling them to exchange e-mail with members of the General Assembly, to receive updates on pending legislation, and to observe live sessions of the General Assembly, which include closed captioning for the hearing impaired; and

Whereas, without question, the Office of Legislative Printing, Information and Technology Systems' efficient and innovative use of the most current digital technology enabled the State to receive a score of 99.52 out of a possible 100 on the survey. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, commend the Office of Legislative Printing, Information and Technology Systems for its notable accomplishments in the application of digital technologies, which contributed significantly to the State of South Carolina finishing second in the Digital Democracy portion of the 2001 Digital State Survey.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be delivered to Gigi L. Brickle, Director of the Office of Legislative Printing, Information and Technology Systems.
