SB 12 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the Office of the Chief Information Officer within the Office of the Governor. (BDR 19-280)

SB 12 renames Nevada's "Office of the Chief Information Officer" to the "Governor’s Technology Office" within the Governor’s Office. It updates all related references in Nevada law to reflect this new name and adjusts minor structural terms (e.g., changing "Administration Unit" to "Director’s Office"). The bill does not alter the office’s core duties, such as providing IT services to state agencies or managing information security. This is a technical renaming and reference update affecting internal state government operations, with no new policy changes or external impacts.
