AI Summary

This bill aims to implement enterprise-wide technology policies in Washington state government to ensure consistency, security, and responsible use of data. It amends existing laws to give the director of the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) the authority to establish standards and policies governing information technology across state agencies. The bill also expands the responsibilities of the Office of Privacy and Data Protection, requiring it to establish privacy principles and best practices that state agencies must adopt, with some exceptions. The goal is to promote a more coordinated, standardized approach to technology management and data privacy, rather than the current decentralized model where agencies operate in isolation.
