Yearly report on technology fund spending

The law requires a yearly report on the Information Technology Investment Fund. The Secretary of Information Technology must send it to the General Assembly on or before January 15 each year. The report lists how much money went to each program and shows discretionary allocations. This reporting applies from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031.

Technology fund backs state networks and radios

The law lets the Secretary of Information Technology use the Information Technology Investment Fund to support the State telecommunication and computer network and the Maryland First public-safety radio system. The Secretary may also fund state-owned communication sites and telecom equipment tied to state IT agreements, including program management. The Secretary decides how to split the money across these uses. Beginning July 1, 2026, these authorities apply through June 30, 2031.
