Bill > SB938

This bill requires the Department of Taxation to submit an annual report to the Legislature about its Information Technology Services Office (ITO), with the report due twenty days before each regular legislative session. The report must include a detailed organizational chart and staffing plan for the ITO, along with comprehensive requirements addressing nine specific areas: cost considerations, budget impact, management and oversight, recruitment and talent acquisition, organizational considerations, risk of overstaffing, long-term sustainability, integration of non-technology staff, and accountability measures for effective resource use. By mandating this detailed reporting, the bill aims to provide legislative oversight of the department's technology services operations, ensure transparency, and promote strategic planning for the ITO's development and management. The bill will take effect immediately upon approval, and the new reporting requirements will be added as a new section to Chapter 231 of Hawaii Revised Statutes.
