An Act establishing the office of information technology; relating to information technology projects undertaken by state agencies; and providing for an effective date.

SB 38 establishes a new Office of Information Technology (OIT) within the Department of Administration, led by a Chief Information Officer (CIO). The OIT will oversee all state agency IT projects, requiring agencies to obtain CIO approval before starting projects to ensure they follow security standards, avoid duplication, and have adequate funding. The bill mandates that agencies document IT project needs in biennial plans and report new projects to the Office of Management and Budget for review. This creates a centralized system for managing state IT resources and security across all executive branch agencies.
