Bill > A04939

This bill directs the New York State Office of Information Technology Services to hire a private technology audit firm to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the state's information technology systems. The evaluation will specifically examine the IT infrastructure, applications, data management, policies, and operational processes of key state departments like Labor and Health, as well as public-facing systems and services. The audit will involve studying best practices in both public and private technology sectors, identifying deficiencies in the state's current systems, and developing recommendations for improvement. By December 31, 2027, the office must submit a detailed report of its findings to top state leadership, including the governor, state comptroller, legislative leaders, and chairs of technology committees. The bill provides the office with the authority to request necessary information and resources from state agencies to complete this evaluation, and the provisions will be in effect until January 3, 2028.
