                                BILL NUMBER:S8067

TITLE OF BILL:

An act
to amend the state technology law and the state finance law,
in relation to renaming the office for technology as the office of
the chief information officer

PURPOSE:

This bill would amend the State Technology Law to combine the powers
of the Office for Technology and the Chief Information Officer of the
State of New York.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill would amend the title of Article I of the State
Technology Law (STL) renaming the Office for Technology (OFT) as the
"Office of the Chief Information Officer" (Office).

Section 2 of the bill would set forth the legislative intent,
describing the alignment of the functions, powers, and duties of OFT
with the responsibilities of the Office. The legislative intent also
recognizes the State's continuing efforts to breach the digital
divide and foster affordable high-speed Internet access in

underserved areas of the State.

Section 3 of the bill would make several amendments to STL §§ 101-105,
including:

* STI § 101 would be amended to make conforming definitional changes
to accommodate the newly named Office.
* STL § 102 would be amended to replace the OFT Director with the
Chief Information Officer (CIO) as executive of the Office and would
continue the existing statutory powers of the executive: overseeing
office administration; establishing information technology policies
and standards; facilitating information sharing with . State and
local governments; strategic planning; and appointing deputies and
assistants in accordance with the Civil Service Law. This section
would now allow the CIO to appoint workgroups and related bodies to
assist in carrying out the respective duties, functions and powers of
the Office.
* STL § 103 would be amended to clarify the functions, powers and
duties of the Office including building a State enterprise technology
center, and clarifying that the Office may provide technology to
agencies, local governments and private entities where permitted by
law. The Office shall also develop disaster recovery plans;
consult with other agencies on IT workforce development and economic
opportunities within the State; and assist state agencies in the
protection of state technology infrastructure.

* STL §§ 104 and 105 would be amended to rename the "Advisory Council
for Technology" as the "Information Technology Executive Strategic
Council," and to clarify that the Council will now be chaired by the
CIO.

Section 4 of the bill would amend State Finance Law § 163-a to make a
conforming change substituting the new name of the Office, as it
concerns the Advisory Council.

Section 5 of the bill would provide for the effective date.

EXISTING LAW:

Executive Order No. 117 of 2002 established the position of the New York
State Chief Information Officer. This Executive Order was continued
by Governor Eliot Spitzer through Executive Order 5 of 2007 and by
Governor David A. Paterson through Executive Order 9 of 2008.

STL § 101 prescribes definitions for the Article concerning OFT.

STL § 102 prescribes certain powers for the OFT Director regarding the
organization of the office and resources.

STL § 103 prescribes the functions, powers and duties of OFT.

STL §§ 104 and 105 prescribe an Advisory Council for Technology and
the Council's powers and duties.

State Finance Law § 163-a places controls on bids or proposals from
private vendors who assist the State with preparation of
specifications for technology procurements and provides for a review
function by the CIO and the Advisory Council for Technology.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

Departmental Bill #66 in 2009.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:

The bill would merge the responsibilities of the CIO with the
functions, powers and duties of OFT. This would help to create a
unified direction on the State's enterprise strategic technology plan
and major technology operations. The proposed bill will eliminate
overlap and align the functions, powers and duties of the single,
newly renamed office.

Executive Order 117 of 2002 established the position of the CIO. Powers
delegated to the CIa by the Executive Order 117 include the following:

* Overseeing and supervising the management and operations of OFT;
* Overseeing, directing and coordinating the establishment of
information technology policies, protocols and standards for State

government, including hardware, software, security and business
re-engineering;
* Overseeing and coordinating the development, acquisition, deployment
and management of information technology resources for State
government;
* Developing strategies to improve the State workforce's ability to
employ needed information technologies, and overseeing and
coordinating the implementation of such strategies;
* Coordinating and facilitating information sharing between and among
State government, local governments, other states, the federal
government and institutions of higher learning to promote the use
and deployment of information technology that will improve the
delivery of government services; and
* Working with State
government, local governments, the federal government, institutions
of higher learning and private enterprises to further the State
enterprise strategic technology plan.

Since the establishment of the CIO position in 2002, the CIO's central
focus has been to support State and local government entities through
the development of policies to guide the State strategic technology
plan. The CIO, with the advice and assistance of a CIO advisory
group, has furthered the State's ability to advance a statewide
technology agenda. The proposed bill would align the powers and
duties of the CIO and OFT into a single statutory framework.
Streamlining the functions of the CIO and OFT creates a unified
voice for directing the State strategic technology plan and major
technology operations.

Additionally, the streamlined Office will consult and collaborate with
other State agencies to develop, grow and train a skilled information
technology (IT) State workforce; create opportunities across the
State to use IT for workforce development and educational
enhancement; and deploy the State's technology assets to help achieve
public purposes as determined by the Legislature.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS:

None.

None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This bill would take effect immediately.

AN ACT to amend the state technology law and the state finance  law,  in
  relation  to  renaming  the office for technology as the office of the
  chief information officer

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative intent. The New York state office for technolo-
gy  was created by chapter 430 of the laws of 1997. The office was given
authority for technology planning and operation to improve  delivery  of
government  service,  especially by leveraging opportunities for coordi-
nation and consolidation of the state's technology assets.   Subsequent-
ly,  the position of chief information officer was established by execu-
tive order number  117  in  2002  to  oversee  the  office  and  enhance
enterprise  information  technology  planning for the state, among other
responsibilities. The legislature intends to align the  responsibilities
of  the  New  York  state  chief information officer with the functions,
powers and duties of the New York state office for technology  in  order
to  improve  strategic leadership in the leveraging of information tech-
nology to (i) streamline and enhance government  services  to  citizens,
businesses  and  visitors to the state, (ii) facilitate development of a
skilled technology workforce, (iii) enable an innovation economy in  New
York  and  (iv) provide strategic and operational leadership in critical
technology  infrastructure  acquisition,  coordination,   consolidation,
modernization, deployment and operations.
  The  legislature recognizes that a driving force for economic develop-
ment is universal access to high-speed broadband internet service.  This
is increasingly critical to economic competitiveness and educational and
social  opportunities.  In  recognition  of  this fact, this legislation
broadens the authority of the office to use and deploy the state's tech-
nology to serve important public purposes such as affordable and  acces-
sible broadband services. Specifically, economic welfare and development
will  be  fostered  by  the deployment of the state's technology to make

S. 8067                             2

affordable high-speed broadband services available to all  citizens  and
businesses  statewide.  Such  deployment  will enhance opportunities for
citizens, businesses and communities to compete  in  today's  knowledge-
based  economy,  especially  in underserved and unserved urban and rural
economies.
  The legislature also recognizes  the  need  to  support  collaborative
programs  for  developing  and training a skilled information technology
workforce and address barriers such as the digital divide  so  that  all
New  York  citizens can participate in opportunities for economic growth
and development.

added  by  chapter 430 of the laws of 1997, and as renumbered by chapter
