AI Summary

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Innovation Fund and the State Agency Technology Upgrades Account to provide financial assistance to state agencies for modernizing their information technology (IT) systems. The bill creates a board to administer the fund and account, which can be used to replace legacy IT systems, transition to cloud computing or other innovative platforms, and develop methods to address IT security threats. The bill also allows state agencies to request the transfer of unused IT or cybersecurity funds to the account for their own future modernization projects. The goal is to help state agencies upgrade their outdated or inefficient IT systems and improve their technological capabilities and cybersecurity measures.
