Bill Summary
This bill provides that any contract entered into by a State agency for the purchase of goods or services, or for the construction of any public work, having a value in excess of $100,000 will require the contractor to use software to verify that all hours billed for work under the contract for services performed on a computer are eligible charges. Every such contract must specifically provide that the State agency will not pay for hours worked on a computer unless the hours are verifiable by software or by data collected by software. The bill provides specific functions that this software must perform in order to document computer use in performance of a contract. It will apply to agencies in the Executive Branch of State government and to independent State authorities, commissions, instrumentalities, or agencies.
AI Summary
This bill requires that any state government contract exceeding $100,000 must include a provision mandating the contractor to use software that verifies and documents computer usage for work billed under the contract. The software must provide real-time access to the state agency, automatically gather data on computer activity, track keystrokes and mouse events, provide cost status, and ensure privacy. Contractors must store the data collected for 7 years and make it available to the state agency upon request, without charging the agency for access to the software or data. This applies to all executive branch agencies and independent state authorities, commissions, and agencies.
