Abstract

This legal background briefing relates to the use, access to, and disclosure of information electronically generated or stored on legislative computer systems by state legislators and state legislative employees and the legislative policies and procedures governing such use, access, and disclosure. Public disclosure of confidential information, legislative privilege or immunity, attorney-client privilege, and Fourth Amendment privacy concerns are some of the legal issues related to the use of legislative computer systems and the transmission of information using such systems.
