A new computer system to track the passing of laws from inspiration to legislation has been bought by the Bermuda Government.

According to the Federal Computer Weekly website the Bermuda government hope the $64,000 automated law tracking system will reduce inefficiencies in drafting laws.

Cabinet Secretary John Drinkwater told : ?It?s really exciting. It?s a much more effective system to enable us to serve the Government, the legislature and the people much more effectively than before.?

MPs and civil servants are being trained on the Cabinet Office Legislation Tracking System or COLTS this summer. It will remove the need for Government officials to ring others to find out what?s happening with the evolution of initiatives.

Jason Britton, a software engineer at COLTS?s developer Scientific Technologies Corporation, hopes to train about 110 COLTS users in Bermuda ministries by the end of July.
