Bill > HF1028

This bill addresses several administrative and technological provisions related to state management and data handling. It empowers the legislative council to review and potentially disapprove certain interdepartmental transfers of funds, modifies procedures for such transfers, and establishes new guidelines for state technology investments. The bill creates new sections in state law regarding contract terms, specifically prohibiting certain contractual provisions that could potentially disadvantage the state, such as requiring the state to defend another party's liability or imposing terms from foreign jurisdictions. It also establishes confidentiality protections for communications related to cybersecurity and authorizes the department of management to maintain integrated information systems for data sharing among government agencies, with a particular focus on criminal justice and juvenile justice data. Additionally, the bill updates background check requirements for certain technology staff, reducing the interval between required checks from ten to five years, and makes several technical changes to existing statutes related to criminal justice planning and data analysis. The bill aims to improve state government's technological infrastructure, contract management, and information sharing capabilities while maintaining robust protections for sensitive data and state interests.
