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 and licensing of state electronic data sets to the public, including setting policies and standards for what data can be shared online, ensuring it is done securely and with appropriate privacy protections. Additionally, the bill adjusts the membership of certain committees and boards to reflect this shift in responsibility, removing the CIO and adding the comptroller or their designee to roles previously held by the CIO.
