The first-ever IDEAS Award recognizes:
Innovation
Dedication
Excellence
Achievement in service in state member programming
Significant contributions to the mission of NASS.
Secretary Gale’s office was honored for its creation of a state tracking and email notification system for proposed rules and regulations. NASS said this cross-agency application has yielded significant results in government economy through operational time savings in many areas.
“My office has brought the legal process of creating, amending and repealing regulations into the 21st century,” Secretary Gale said.
“In a process that can be very lengthy, following up on every proposal manually could be challenging,” he said. “Now, the three agency administrators involved in the regulation adoption process have a tool that will accomplish this for the public.”
The online application was developed in partnership with Nebraska.gov, which is managed by Nebraska Interactive, LLC. Nebraska Interactive builds and manages online solutions that help Nebraska State government realize greater operational efficiencies by allowing citizens to interact quickly and easily with their government.
“We are thrilled that NASS has recognized the online services and the benefits that it brings to citizens,” said Brent Hoffman, General Manager for Nebraska.gov. “It is an honor for Nebraska’s Secretary of State’s office to receive the inaugural IDEAS award, and we appreciate partnering with them.”
