A bill for an act relating to matters under the purview of the department of management, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

This bill directs the Iowa Department of Management to use state funds for technology infrastructure projects that improve government services and protect resident privacy. It establishes a Technology Reinvestment Fund with annual appropriations of $17.5 million starting in 2026, requiring projects to prioritize innovation, scalability, and rural access while ensuring long-term sustainability. The legislation also mandates stricter background checks for IT staff and vendors, including FBI criminal history checks every five years, and prohibits certain contract terms such as indemnity clauses, foreign law provisions, and blanket confidentiality requirements. Additionally, the bill requires annual reporting on funded projects to track progress and spending, with unspent funds rolling over for two years rather than reverting to the general fund.
