Bill > HB0031

This bill amends an existing law to expand the state's single sign-on citizen portal by adding new provisions specifically focused on offenders. Currently, the portal allows residents to access various government services like medical programs, unemployment benefits, driver's licenses, and tax filing. The bill requires the state to develop a version of the portal for offenders and former offenders (defined as individuals with a conviction on or after January 1, 2027) by January 1, 2027. This new portal version would, if possible, provide electronic access to the individual's digital verifiable credentials and records, as well as information about their outstanding debts such as restitution, court costs, fines, taxes, alimony, child support, and other court-ordered payments. The bill also provides links to access more detailed information about these debts. The expansion aims to create a centralized, secure digital platform that helps offenders manage their financial and legal documentation more easily. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, giving the state time to develop and implement the new portal features.
