The Division of Information Technology at NDSU has launched an updated version of its Web-based system for tracking bills that are being addressed by the North Dakota Legislature. The Legislative Bill Tracking System provides ongoing information regarding bills and amendments, hearing schedules and the House and Senate calendar.

The system, originally developed in the late 1990s, is designed to provide convenient and affordable access to legislative information for organizations and constituencies across the state.  “The Legislative Bill Tracking System is really designed to help individuals and groups focus attention on the legislation that is important to them,” said Marc Wallman, NDSU assistant vice president for information technology.

The system is available at lbts.nodak.edu and access is free for staff members from North Dakota state agencies and the University System. For people outside of state agencies, subscriptions can be purchased with a credit card for $375. Access to the Legislative Bill Tracking System will be available through June 30.
