The American Samoa Legislature plans to have a paperless system in place next year.
The Fono is using a half a million US dollar grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to achieve this.
Iulogologo Joseph Pereira, a consultant to the Senate President, says the Fono leaders want to emulate the Hawaii legislature where everything is done electronically.
The Fono is building a new information technology centre and will install a network that will connect all lawmakers with the Legislative Reference Bureau which drafts bills.
