Free "Custom" bill tracking.

• Position: Letters/Books - Brief Article

Editor:

In the July/August State Legislatures the Statestats article, "America Goes Online," lists states with free bill tracking services.

Kansas has offered such a service for over a decade. Also on the site are calendars, journals, committee agendas and minutes, full text of bills, enrolled bills, statutes, individual roster listing, committee listings, current activity of each chamber throughout the day, a link to legislators, a legislative glossary, etc.

In addition, there are fee-based sites that offer specialized multi-bill information and the annotated statutes.

The Kansas site has been nationally recognized for its services. It can be found at: kslegislature.com
