From YouTube: Policies for Legislative Technologies
Description
This session was held Aug. 6, 2017, at NCSL's 2017 Legislative Summit in Boston.
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.
A
So
a
lot
of
people
in
the
room
know
me
and
if
you
do,
I'm
a
huge
introvert
and
I
know
all
the
tricks
so
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
little
hint,
which
is
it's
possible.
There
might
be
some
interaction
that
is
required
as
part
of
this
session.
You
are
more
likely
to
have
to
interact
if
you're
sitting
in
the
back
of
the
room.
So
if
you
would
prefer
not
to
interact,
come
on
up
form
that
usually
works,
I
know
it's
the
end
of
the
day.
A
My
name
is
Michael
Adams
I'm,
the
director
of
strategic
planning
for
the
Virginia
Senate.
You
are
in
a
session
which
is
titled
policies
for
legislative
technologies,
social
media,
personal
and
state
owned
devices,
email
and
text
messages
all
raise
questions
about
whether
and
how
legislatures
and
legislative
staff
use
them
how
the
records
they
create
are
retained
or
not
and
which
are
subject
to
public
records
requests.
Today,
we're
going
to
discuss
how
legislative
policies
have
been
developed,
what
legislators
considered
and
how
they
came
to
their
conclusions.
A
We
welcome
those
of
you
who
are
viewing
from
afar,
and
a
recording
of
this
session
will
also
be
made
available
after
the
meeting
on
demand
from
the
Ohio
channel
website,
since
the
cameras
will
be
live
throughout
the
session.
I'd
like
to
remind
our
panelists
to
spli.
Please
use
the
microphones
for
your
presentation.
We
will
leave
time
at
the
end
for
QA,
but
to
avoid
the
usual
mechanics
of
microphones
and
sound
difficulties
for
our
remote
participants,
and
in
case
any
of
you
have
agents
who
would
object
to
you
being
filmed
without
a
contract.
