Senate Co-Sponsorship Memoranda

In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation similar to House Bill 1453 of the 2011-2012 Session to amend Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pa.C.S. My legislation would expand the authorized methods of recording and storing judicial records to include optical imaging technology.

Current law requires many judicial records to be maintained in outdated and cumbersome analog formats that are costly to produce and store and are not easily accessible by modern standards. This legislation would expand the list of authorized methods of recording and copying judicial system records to include optical, electronic and other processes which accurately reproduce the original and form secure and unalterable copies.

If you are interested in cosponsoring this legislation or have any questions, please contact my office. Thank you for your consideration.
