This bill creates a new section in RSA 21-G to require executive branch departments and agencies to prominently display a "contact" or "contact us" button on their web pages. The button must be clearly visible and easily found, and it must provide the central telephone number and toll-free number (if applicable) to the main line of the government entity, a direct e-mail link to the appropriate employee, a link to the state employee directory, a link to the government entity's web-based contact process, and a link to all web sites for the departments. The Department of Information Technology will develop the design of the button. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
The Office of Legislative Budget Assistant is unable to provide a fiscal note for this bill at this time, as they are awaiting information from the Department of Information Technology.
