Senator Pileggi, Representative Eachus Unveil Mobile Website for Legislative Information

HARRISBURG – A new website will make it easier for users of mobile devices to access legislative information, Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-9) and House Majority Leader Todd Eachus (D-116) announced today.

The website, www.palegis.us, is designed for users of mobile devices such as the iPhone, BlackBerry, and Droid. Visitors can use the site to contact members of the General Assembly, to search for bills by number or keyword, to read bill text, and to access information about legislative committees.

"As more people use smartphones and similar devices to access the Internet, we need to ensure that they can find legislative information in a user-friendly format," said Senator Pileggi, chairman of the Legislative Data Processing Committee. "This website for mobile devices provides easy access to the most commonly accessed information."

"This new mobile-friendly website is part of our ongoing efforts to make state government more accessible and more transparent," said Representative Eachus, vice chairman of the Legislative Data Processing Committee. "With just a few taps on their mobile phone, people can find up-to-date legislative information about the issues they care about. That's what open government is all about."

The mobile website was developed by the Legislative Data Processing office. Suggestions for improvement are welcome and may be e-mailed to webmaster@legis.state.pa.us.

Additional information about state issues is available at Senator Pileggi's website, www.SenatorPileggi.com, and at Representative Eachus' website, www.pahouse.com/Eachus.
