AI Summary

This bill directs the Indiana Department of Administration to explore the potential use of blockchain technology across state agencies by issuing a request for information (RFI) no later than March 1, 2026. Blockchain technology is defined as a distributed, decentralized digital ledger that can be public or private and may involve electronic currencies or tokens. The RFI aims to investigate how blockchain could help state agencies improve cost efficiency, consumer convenience, data security, and data privacy. The bill requires participation from several state agencies, including the Secretary of State's office, Family and Social Services, Workforce Development, Child Services, and the Office of Technology. By July 1, 2026, agencies must submit responses to the RFI, and the Department of Administration must then prepare a comprehensive report detailing the responses, potential recommendations, and other relevant information. This report must be electronically submitted to the legislative council by October 1, 2026. The provisions of this bill are set to expire on December 31, 2026, making it a time-limited exploration of blockchain technology's potential applications in state government operations.
