Website Help and Navigation
Welcome to Our New Website
We are always working to improve access to the Legislature, as part of this effort we have updated our website. We have created this page to assist with navigation.
Menus
Menus on the left hand side of the pages provide access to much of the site. Here's how they work:
-
Click on the menu elements that have little triangles to the left of them to open a sub-menu. This link won't do anything else. -
Click on the sub-menu elements (the ones with the little dots to the left, the yellow text in this picture) to display the appropriate page.
