AI Summary
This bill amends the Department of Innovation and Technology Act and the Illinois Information Security Improvement Act to update definitions, expand the Department's powers and duties, and establish new cybersecurity requirements. Specifically, the bill removes the definition of "client agency" and modifies definitions for "dedicated unit," "State agency," and "transferring agency" (now "transferred agency"). The bill expands the Department's authority to provide information technology services to a broader range of state agencies and other government entities, and allows the Department to charge fees for these services. A significant new provision requires municipalities with populations over 35,000 and counties to designate a local official as the primary point of contact for cybersecurity issues, who must provide their contact information to the Statewide Chief Information Security Officer. The bill also updates the responsibilities of the Office of the Statewide Chief Information Security Officer, including developing security policies, conducting risk assessments, and providing cybersecurity support to state agencies. Additionally, the bill makes minor changes to the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act related to electronic records and signatures for governmental agencies.
