AB7 - Access to State Telephone Numbers

AB7 directs the Department of Administration to ensure that each state agency and authority that maintains a site on the Internet includes on the home page of that site at least one telephone number clearly shown in bold type at which the agency or authority may be contacted for general information, as well as a link that enables a visitor to the site to access the telephone numbers for other functional subunits of the agency or authority and the telephone number of each officer and employee of the agency or authority who is assigned to a work station equipped with a telephone, unless the agency or authority can demonstrate that the public interest requires that the name and telephone number of an employee be withheld from disclosure.

All Winnebago Assembly Reps should vote for this, as public access to contact information of public employees is an essential part to citizen involvement and accountability in government.
