TO TRANSFER THE REVIEW OF PLANNING AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CONTRACTS FROM THE OFFICE OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL SERVICES TO THE DIVISION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS.

HB 1380 transfers the responsibility for reviewing planning and technical requirements of state information technology contracts from the Office of Intergovernmental Services to the Division of Information Systems. It directly affects Arkansas state agencies that issue or purchase IT contracts exceeding $100,000 in value, including those under cooperative agreements. The bill changes the pre-contract review process by shifting authority to the Division of Information Systems, ensuring technical and planning compliance before contracts are finalized. This is a procedural adjustment to administrative oversight, not a substantive policy change.
