AI Summary
This bill directs state agencies to manage their own information technology (IT) services while maintaining centralized cybersecurity oversight by the Information Services Division of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES). The bill requires each state agency to submit an annual electronic report to the Governor and Chief Information Officer by December 31, detailing their IT services status. The legislation removes previous requirements for the Information Services Division to consolidate and manage IT services across state agencies, effectively decentralizing IT management while preserving a centralized approach to cybersecurity. The bill amends multiple sections of Oklahoma statutes to update language related to information technology, purchasing, and technology governance, and repeals several existing sections of law related to the Information Technology Consolidation and Coordination Act. Key changes include modifying the roles of the Chief Information Officer and the Information Services Division, updating security risk assessment requirements, and adjusting procurement and technology contract procedures. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, with an emergency clause allowing immediate implementation upon passage.
