Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

New Governor’s Technology Office runs state IT

Beginning July 1, 2025, the Office of the Chief Information Officer becomes the Governor’s Technology Office in the Governor’s Office. The Office includes the Director’s Office, Client Services, Computing Services, Network Services (with Network Transport and Unified Communications), and the Office of Information Security. The Governor’s Technology Office takes over all CIO powers and duties. State advisory bodies now name the Governor’s Technology Office as the member office, including the IT Advisory Board, the Technological Crime Advisory Board, and the Telecommunications Advisory Council. The law repeals several outdated statutes to align with the new structure.

Faster breach response and safe testing

Beginning July 1, 2025, the Deputy Chief of the Office of Information Security must investigate and resolve breaches in state systems that use the Governor’s Technology Office. Authorized testing, including penetration testing, of those systems is allowed when approved by the CIO or the head of Information Security.

Stronger cybersecurity rules for state data

Beginning July 1, 2025, state agencies that hold Nevadans’ personal data must, when practical, follow the current CIS Controls or similar NIST standards. The Office of Information Security must publish a public list of required federal and state controls the State follows. The Governor’s Technology Office may adopt rules for alternative encryption methods after a well‑founded petition.

Agencies pay for shared IT services

Beginning July 1, 2025, the Governor’s Technology Office bills state and local agencies that use its services. Charges include annual operating costs and depreciation for Network Services, and monthly installments for computer facility construction. The Office sends monthly itemized statements and may use fixed‑cost billing.

Security deputy job status changes

Beginning July 1, 2025, the Deputy Chief of the Office of Information Security is in the unclassified service. Anyone holding or appointed to that job on July 1, 2025 stays in the classified service until they leave the position.
