TO REPEAL THE LAW CONCERNING THE REVIEW OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PLANS.
HB 1470 repeals Arkansas Code § 19-11-269, which required state agencies to submit IT procurement plans for review by the Office of Intergovernmental Services before spending over $100,000 on information technology contracts or cooperative IT purchases. This change directly affects state agencies that purchase or contract for IT products or services exceeding $100,000. The bill removes a pre-approval step for these transactions, streamlining the procurement process without creating new requirements. As a procedural repeal, it does not alter IT spending limits or introduce new policy. (This bill became Act 582 on April 14, 2025.)
