After attracting so much attention from a seventeen hour long filibuster, Senator Matt Bartle now wants to draw attention to a new bill.
The bill would add a new, almost state cabinet position in the state Capitol to keep technology up-to-date.
The new office of enterprise technology would be under the Office of Administration.
Bartle said the state government needs to play catch up.

Bartle said he didn't expect for his bill to pass, but he did plea to move it at least to the Senate floor so that reporters and other senators could hear his idea.

Intro: A proposal for a new office of technology is causing hesitation. Fanna Haile-Selassie has more from the Capitol.
After failing to get a resolution passed for Senators to use laptops on the Senate floor, the proudly self-proclaimed computer geek is at it again.
Senator Matt Bartle's new bill proposes to create an office of enterprise technology to keep the Capitol technology up-to-date.
However the bill isn't expected to go far and even Bartle doesn't see it passing.

| Description: I'm not even going to ask you to move this bill out, but if you see a way to use the concept with something you are moving, I would be interested in having the debate on the floor. |
Someone on the staff assigning the budget of the bill must have not approved of it either.
The first estimated budget for the bill last legislative session was 0 dollars, and now the new bill is about nine hundred thirty thousand dollars.
