Searching Within Legal Statutes

Indiana Code The author of this report has been asked to complete two major tasks as it relates to the Indiana Assembly code of law. The first activity will be to list three websites for the Indiana government, one for each branch of the government. The second part is to find what precisely exists in a certain part of the Indiana code and there will also be a search of a career-oriented term that interest the author and it will be summarized.

It will also be explained why the searched term was chosen and how it was came to. While reviewing governmental information may seem daunting and confusing to some, it is actually not that hard once one knows the ropes of the websites and how to find them. Analysis As with most (but not all) states in the United States, Indiana has three major branches of government, not unlike the federal government. There is the Indiana State House of Representatives, the Indiana Senate and the Indiana Office of the Governor.

The first two are jointly considered the general assembly. The House is the lower house while the Senate is the upper house, just like the federal government. The difference is that the federal equivalents are collectively called Congress.

The links for those three realms of the Indiana government are noted below: Indiana Governor - http://www.in.gov/gov/ Indiana State Senate - https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2015/senate Indiana State House - https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2015/house The relevant statute and section mentioned in this report is Title 21, Article 7, Chapter 13 and Section 9. The particular section refers to boards of trustees and that there are people that apply to those boards at a number of schools.

The schools mentioned, in the order that they appear in the code, are Ball State, Indiana University, Indiana State University, Ivy Tech Community College, Purdue University, the University of Southern Indiana and Vincennes University (Indiana Assembly, 2015). The author of this report is interested in computers, at least indirectly, when it comes to a future degree. As such, the author of this report put the word "computer" in the search string box.

That box is at the top to the right of where it says "Fullscreen," "Go To Page" and then "Zoom." The right of the zoom button is the search box. The word "computer" found Title 21, article 28, chapter 4 and section 5. The section makes reference to transmission system criteria. In part, it says "be capable of transmitting high fidelity television signals, high fidelity sound signals, data signals for computer communication and voice traffic" (Indiana Assembly, 2015).

It is of interest to the author of this report because computers and other related technology is literally taking over and changing culture. As such, the career people of the future will need to know how to use, program and otherwise wield these devices (Indiana Assembly, 2015). Conclusion Indiana is just one state in the group of fifty that make up the United States.

Each state tends to do things their own way but the United States is often at the front of the line and this is always the case when they make the laws in question. Colleges and universities play a vital role in preparing kids and young adults for the future. The culture and technology paradigms are changing quickly and greatly and this means that the standard and minimum education that children receive must change as well.
