                                BILL NUMBER:S1185

TITLE OF BILL:

An act
to amend the state technology law, in relation to establishing
the office of the
chief information officer, the enterprise executive governance board
and the information
technology investment board; to amend the state finance law, in
relation to state
procurement of technology; and to repeal sections 104 and 105 of the
state technology
law relating to the advisory council for technology

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to establish the New York State Office of
the Chief Information Officer to replace and succeed, the Office for
Technology, as well as bodies to oversee overall technology
governance in New York state.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 would rename Article I of the state Technology Law.

Section 2 would define the terms 'council,' 'office,' 'state agency,'
'technology,' local government,' and 'information technology
workforce' for the purposes of the state Technology Law.

Section 3 would amend the State Technology Law to rename the office
for Technology as the Office of Chief Information Officer, and
establish the state chief information officer as its head. All the
responsibilities of the Director of the Office of Technology shall be
transferred to the Chief Information Officer. It also establishes new
powers and duties for the Office of the Chief Information Officer,
and provides that the Office is the successor to the Office for
Technology in all legal matters in front of the state.

Section 4 would transfer the existing powers and duties of the Office
of Technology to the Office of the Chief Information Officer. In
addition, it would authorize the new office to provide technology
services when requested by a state agency, local government or
private entity, as well as establish statewide policies concerning
the implementation and operations of technology across the state. In
addition, this section would authorize the new office to establish a
New York State web portal and issue electronic government policies to
ensure the most effective use of Internet technology and broadband
deployment.

Section 5 establishes procedures for the new office to exercise a role
in statewide technology planning and oversight by requiring reporting
from agencies on annual technology planning, workforce management, and
technology procurements.


Section 6 creates the Enterprise Executive Governance Board and the
Information Technology Investment Board to oversee the new office and
to coordinate and approve statewide technology policy.

Section 7 requires all contracts for technology consulting services to
provide a specific implementation plan for knowledge transfer and
training for existing state employees by the contractor.

Section 8 makes conforming changes to the State Finance Law in
reference to the new bodies established in this act.

Section 9 provides that this bill will take effect thirty days after
enactment, except for sections five through eight, which will take
place ninety days after enactment.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:

There is an imperative need to formalize New York's information
technology Governance structure. We have made tremendous progress as
a state in recent years' coordinating IT decision-making, getting a
better handle on our assets, getting value for our procurements, and
managing our workforce. We must set up structures to ensure that
progress is preserved. In a political and administrative system where
people change, only a permanent statutory governance system can give
us the continuity we need.

To accomplish these goals, this legislation establishes an Enterprise
Executive Governance Board is necessary to coordinate the policies
issued by the state CIA with the policy decisions made by the
Executive and the legislature. In addition, creating an Information
Technology Investment Board will bring all of the policymakers in the
procurement process to the table to ensure that State dollars are
wisely spent.

To further implement a more efficient, more accountable information
technology policy in New York, this legislation would merge the
responsibilities of the State Chief Information Officer with the
functions, powers and duties of the Office For Technology. 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, :and codify the new
office's power and responsibility to coordinate IT policy across the
State enterprise under the oversight of the new statutory governance
bodies.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
This is a new bill.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This bill takes effect thirty days after enactment, with provisions.
