LEGISLATIVE PAPERLESS CHAMBER SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
On behalf of the Maine State Legislature, the Legislative Council is seeking proposals from qualified vendors for the design, development and delivery of software to allow for immediate access to electronic versions of legislative calendars, bills, amendments and other related information by legislators at their desks in the House and Senate chambers using a series of intuitively designed navigational tools that link directly to electronic documents residing on legislative or other servers. The Maine Legislature is committed to enhancing the administrative and economic efficiency of its House and Senate by reducing or eliminating paper documents and allowing access to those documents electronically and in an accurate, consistent and timely manner.
