Bill > HB651

This bill transfers the responsibilities of the State Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Office of Information Management and Technology (OIMT) to the comptroller, effectively dissolving these entities and their associated special fund, the shared services technology special fund. The comptroller will now oversee the availability of state data sets on the public open data portal, manage data set licensing, and develop policies and procedures for online data disclosure, ensuring consistency with existing laws on privacy and security. Additionally, the bill adjusts the composition of various state committees and boards by removing the CIO and adding the comptroller or their designee, and it repeals sections of law that established the CIO, OIMT, and the shared services technology special fund, with any remaining funds from the repealed special fund lapsing to the general fund.
