Statewide Digital Services and Procurement Modernization Act; establish for ITS.

HB 546 creates a centralized cloud storage center for all Mississippi state agencies, requiring them to transition to this system by July 1, 2031, to standardize data management and improve security. It establishes a Procurement Modernization Advisory Council to oversee implementation, develop cybersecurity standards, and integrate data systems across state, county, and municipal governments. The bill mandates 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring, regular compliance audits, and standardized data formats to enhance system interoperability and efficiency. These changes directly affect all state agencies and will eventually extend to local governments through the cloud system's adoption.
