Ms. Esther van Mourik, Office of Legislative Legal Services, provided an update about draft legislation concerning the qualification and addition of information technology projects to the statutory definitions of controlled maintenance. She explained that she is waiting for additional information from the Governor's Office of Information Technology before she can proceed with drafting the legislation. Ms. van Mourik next discussed the possibility of drafting a bill to clean up various capital construction statutes. She said the draft bill would also include the addition of information technology projects to the definition of capital construction. Members of the committee commented on the potential draft legislation. Ms. van Mourik addressed a question about why certain capital construction processes and practices are not currently reflected in statute.
