H1030 - 2016 Appropriations Act. (SL 2016-94)

Overview: Sec. 7.11 of S.L. 2016-94 amends the statute which requires certain State agencies to, during the 2015-2016 fiscal year, transfer information technology personnel, operations, projects, assets, and appropriate funding to the Department of Information Technology (Department) for the State Chief Information Officer (CIO) to prepare plans to transition each participating agency to the Department.

Sec. 7.11 of S.L. 2016-94 removes the Office of the State Controller from the list of participating agencies and adds the Department of Public Safety, with the exception of the: (i) State Bureau of Investigation; (ii) State Highway Patrol; and (iii) Division of Emergency Management. Accordingly, this section releases the Department of Public Safety from its requirement to work with the State CIO to plan its transition to the Department of Information Technology and report to the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Information Technology and the Fiscal Research Division by October 1, 2018 on its plans.

This section became effective July 1, 2016.
