ADDITIONAL CONTACTS NEBRASKA NEVADA Dalyce Ronnau, Assistant Planning Engineer State of Nebraska Department of Roads-Planning Division APPENDIX E STATE LEGISLATIVE TRACKING SYSTEM The following contacts and offices have been identified as the single most comprehensive sources of information on aging-related state legislation within each state. This material was obtained through a 1979 state-by-state survey of selected state legislative committees, (1) State Units on Aging, Area Agencies on Aging, and Legislative Public Information offices. (2) Contacts were asked to describe the legislative tracking system within their states and to indicate: 1. 2. 3. whether all bills, all aging-related bills, or selected aging-related bills are tracked; what materials are available; a. a list of bills, b. subject index of bills, c. summaries or abstracts of bills, d. text copies of bills; and whether a newsletter or other publication is produced and disseminated. The listings following each contact refers to the foregoing services as abbreviated by the words in italics. We have attempted to provide a single contact per state, selecting those who described the most complete systems. In some instances, more than one contact is necessary for maximum coverage. A few states reported no aging-related or comprehensive legislative tracking system. In others, several offices provided some services, but not all. For states which did not respond in 1979, we have included contacts who previously provided us with legislative materials in 1977. People and services change quickly; by now some of these systems may have expanded-- or contracted. Your help in updating this list will be appreciated.
