seeking info on electronic access to state legislative materials

Hello Law-libbers,

As part of the Research Instruction Caucus document our region has been
assigned statutory materials, with my co-worker Heather Simmons (Wayne State)
and me specifically assigned describing primary material sources.

My question is this: What states have some sort of electronic bulletin board
which gives either subscribers or the public access to either current state
statutes or the current sessions legislative documents?

At present I know of only Washington state (I have already sent a message
directly to the U. Washington folks), California (of course I deleted that
message, knowing I wouldn't need it, silly me), Michigan (have some leads on
that system) and a hint that Utah has a system.

Any feedback on people to contact, coverage of the systems, and ease of use
would be most appreciated. I'm not sure if everyone on the list would be
interested, but I'd be happy to summarize any information received and either
put it on the list or send it to interested individuals.

Thanks in advance, hope to hear from you all soon, have a pleasant weekend,

Regards,
