All legislation, precedence and codes publicly avail at no $

Make all legislation, precendence, laws, municpal codes, etc publically available at no charge, and providing a means of indexing, sorting, searching, and determining differences with updates and bills. It needs source control!

  1. Yes I think it is a job for CTO, how are you going to make it available, Print, Microfilm, no - computer the internet technology

  2. I think this is a good idea, but is this really something for the chief technology officer to address? It's not exactly related to technology.

  3. DCdawg: still no case state law there

    anonymous proposer: the spelling is "precedents," by the way

    This is a genious idea. This will help the public maintain compliance and avoid the gotchas of hidden regulations. With this information, more small business owners can plan for the realities of dealing with government. Plus it will help highlight overripe regulations that need reform.

  5. Oh yea... I forgot the Government Printing Office at gpo.gov!

  6. See thomas.loc.gov, govtrack.us, www.law.cornel.edu

    Yes, version control is so important that I think it's worth having its own suggestion!

  8. 1

    Source control is key, we need to see exactly who wrote each part of the legislation
