Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 2 mixed.

Stronger oversight of state IT spending

The IT department must approve projects costing $25,000 to $1,000,000. For projects over $1,000,000, it evaluates them and makes recommendations to the authorization committee. For projects over $5,000,000, the agency must hire an independent reviewer before that recommendation. The reviewer must file progress reports within 30 days after each calendar quarter. Budget requests for projects of $25,000 or more must state the department’s review status. Agencies cannot split one project to avoid review. The department can pause spending on a project it finds at risk or not following the rules. It may examine a budget unit’s books and records to carry out these duties.

Online directory of Arizona rules

The department creates an online, interactive directory of state and local codes, rules, ordinances, and statutes. Counties, cities, and state budget units must send their materials in the format the agency sets. This helps people and businesses find and follow the rules.

Agencies must repay for IT services

The department may sign agreements to give IT services to state agencies and local governments. If the Legislature has not funded the work, the agreement must repay the department for its costs. The department sets the cost amount.

Annual IT plans and expertise

State budget units must file an annual IT plan by May 15. The plan must include quality assurance and disaster recovery steps. The legislative and judicial branches file by September 1 for information. Agencies must use life‑cycle cost analysis in IT planning, budgeting, and buying. They must also show they have IT expertise, either staff or contractors.

Felony for leaking confidential records

It is a class 5 felony to knowingly share confidential records the law does not allow. This rule applies to the director, the director’s staff, and employees who handle these records.

Centralized state IT and security

The department runs the state’s enterprise IT systems. The Department of Homeland Security manages security and privacy for those systems. When Homeland Security directs it, the department temporarily cuts access to protect systems and data. The two agencies consult on security rules and procedures.
