The bill also revises county purchasing rules, including those related to road and bridge inventory, and updates provisions for electronic commerce, telework programs, and the handling of state publications and security breaches. Additionally, it addresses the transfer of IT assets and positions to OMES and establishes procedures for charging agencies for shared IT services.
