ETS consolidation.
HB 286 consolidates Wyoming's Department of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) and the Office of the State Chief Information Officer into a new division within the Department of Administration and Information. This transfer affects all state agencies that use technology services, as they will now report to this unified division for telecommunications, software, and equipment management. The bill mandates the transfer of all personnel, funds, equipment, and responsibilities, requires a budget submission process for fiscal year 2024, and establishes new definitions and rules for the consolidated division's operations. The key change is eliminating separate tech offices to streamline state technology administration under one department.
