Bill > SB1090

This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for managing information technology (IT) budgets and projects across Oregon state agencies. It defines "information technology" as all hardware, software, and services related to data processing, office automation, and telecommunications, and applies to most executive department agencies except for a few specific entities like the Secretary of State and state universities. The bill requires state agencies to submit their IT funding requests to the State Chief Information Officer and the office of Enterprise Information Services by a specified date in each biennium. The State Chief Information Officer, in collaboration with the Legislative Fiscal Office, will create criteria for prioritizing these requests, with the office of Enterprise Information Services evaluating and recommending priority rankings based on factors such as alignment with existing technology strategies, potential for shared systems, use of commercial software, information security improvements, and reduction of system redundancies. The bill mandates two key reports: one by November 30 of even-numbered years listing priority rankings and critical IT needs, and another by October 31 of odd-numbered years detailing IT budget and project approvals by the Legislative Assembly. The bill includes an emergency clause, indicating its immediate importance for public peace, health, and safety, and thus taking effect upon passage.
