Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study prohibiting the use of, and finding alternatives for, menus reciting dialing options on state telephones.

Whereas, Menus reciting dialing options on state telephones can be very confusing to citizens; and
Whereas, Menus reciting dialing options on state telephones save the state money on hiring employees to answer the telephones; and
Whereas, Senate Bill No. 454, introduced during the 2002 regular session, prohibits the acquisition and use of menus reciting dialing options on state telephones, but it does not set forth any alternatives for state agencies; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to study prohibiting the use of, and finding alternatives for, menus reciting dialing options on state telephones; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2003, on its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance.
