SB 210 New Hampshire Senate · 2024 Regular Session

relative to the licensing of software applications by state agencies.

This bill amends state law to ensure that government agencies retain the right to install and run software on their own chosen IT infrastructure. It specifically prohibits contract terms from restricting an agency's ability to use approved systems, including those dedicated solely to that agency. The Department of Information Technology must approve the infrastructure before the agency can utilize it under these new rules. This change directly affects state agencies entering into software contracts and aims to maintain flexibility in how they manage their digital tools.
