Bill > S1764

This bill, titled the "Transparency Florida Act," aims to increase public access to government spending information by requiring the Executive Office of the Governor to create a central website that links to other state-managed websites containing fiscal data, employee information, and details about state contracts. The bill mandates that these websites be user-friendly, visually consistent, and accessible to all, and it requires the Department of Management Services to maintain a website with current information on state employees and their salaries. Additionally, a User Experience Task Force will be established to recommend a design for consolidating existing state websites into a single, more intuitive platform for accessing operational and fiscal information, with specific provisions for the creation and maintenance of a secure state contract tracking system accessible to the public, detailing contract terms, payments, and justifications for non-competitive procurements, and includes an appropriation for the implementation of this system.
