National Conference of State Legislatures 2017

Legislative Summit in Boston, Massachusetts

Social media, personal and state-owned devices, email and text messages all raise questions about whether and how legislators and legislative staff use them, how the records they create are retained (or not) and which are subject to public records requests. Discuss how legislative policies were developed, what legislatures considered and how they came to their conclusions.
