Malliotakis says her bill takes Albany out of ‘Stone Age’
No more paper trail! Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-C-Bay Ridge-Staten Island) said she is pleased with the passage of a bill she co-sponsored to allow proposed legislation to be sent to state lawmakers digitally instead of on printed copies.
The bill, which Malliotakis said she has been pushing since she first arrived in Albany as a freshman legislator in 2010, would amend the state constitution to allow digital copies of bills to be delivered to legislators rather than requiring paper copies to be printed as the assembly currently does.
“Albany is operating in the Stone Age, and with modern technology, going digital is just common sense,” Malliotakis said.
