Hamilton County Commissioners voted last week to support an effort to transform the county’s current physical law library into an electronic resource, Chattanoogan.com reports. County Attorney Rheubin Taylor said the resolution in support of the effort was requested by the local legislative delegation. Lawmakers are looking into creating an electronic library that can be used by the public, judges and attorneys. County Finance Director Lee Brouner said the library collects $14,000 in revenue through litigation tax each year and has a balance of $92,000 that could be used to operate the new electronic library for at least 10 years. He also said the county already has purchased the software that would be required for the project.
