Executive Branch Agency Amendments

HB 384 clarifies the structure and oversight responsibilities of Utah's Department of Government Operations. It explicitly places the Utah Office of Data Privacy within the department, updates the definition of "executive branch entity" to include the Division of Technology Services for payroll purposes, and shifts the Division of Finance's role from auditing all state claims to overseeing internal controls for financial transactions. The bill also clarifies the department's oversight of the state's accounting system and payroll services provided by the Division of Human Resource Management. These changes directly affect state agencies using payroll systems and the Division of Finance, streamlining administrative oversight without new funding.
