The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce is introducing a new interactive, Internet-based program that enables users to track state legislation.  Called eMobilize, its capabilities include a legislative vote-tracking measure, by which Chamber members and the general public can find legislator voting records on every business related bill introduced in the House and Senate.

eMobilize is designed to enable users to do the following:
•  Track Votes - All business-related votes cast by each legislator is recorded on the eMobilize site for users to access.
•  Track bills - Track bills that most affect their businesses, including its movement through subcommittees, committees, and the full body.
•  Track bills by the issue - Follow issue-specific bills.
•  Elected officials - Locate any elected official, including all contact information, by name and district.
•  Report cards - Each legislator is assigned a report card, regarding votes cast for business-related legislation. Users can view each legislator’s report card. 
•  Alerts - The Chamber will alert its members regarding important legislative issues.

One of only five organizations in the nation to utilize this program, eMobilize is said to bring more accountability to the General Assembly’s decision-making process, as well as provide a more easily accessible means by which users can access their House or Senate member’s voting record.

eMobilize can be found on the South Carolina Chamber’s web site at www.scchamber.net/emobilize.
