Bill > HB2323

This bill makes appropriations from the Automation Projects Fund for various state technology modernization and replacement projects in fiscal year 2023-2024. The bill allocates funds to multiple state departments for specific technology initiatives, including a $20.6 million appropriation to the Department of Administration to replace the human resources information system, $6.7 million to the Department of Administration for a new health and human services authentication platform to prevent fraud, and $7 million to the Corporation Commission to replace its online records and filing system. Additionally, the bill appropriates $19.4 million to the Department of Revenue for an integrated tax system modernization project with specific requirements like data capture, querying capabilities, and taxpayer confidentiality protections. The bill also mandates quarterly reports to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee on project implementation and extends the non-lapsing status of these appropriations until June 30, 2025 (or 2026 for the Corporation Commission project), meaning the funds will not automatically expire at the end of the fiscal year. The bill includes provisions for various other technology projects across state agencies, including systems for the Judiciary, Department of Public Safety, and a K-12 school financial transparency reporting portal.
