01:31 PM -- SB 15-193

Senator Newell introduced Senate Bill 15-193, concerning the consolidation of two reports that the Statewide Internet Portal Authority (SIPA) is required to submit to the members of the General Assembly. Under current law, the SIPA is required to report to the business committees of the House and Senate and the Joint Budget Committee (JBC) by November 1 of each year regarding:

the total amount of charges or fees imposed by each state agency for accessing electronic information, products, and services through the statewide internet portal in the preceding fiscal year; and
the total amount of receipts and revenue derived by SIPA from such transactions for the preceding fiscal year.

Additionally, SIPA is required to submit a written annual report by November 1 of each year. This annual report contains a complete and detailed operating and financial statement of SIPA during the preceding fiscal year. The bill, recommended by the Joint Technology Committee (JTC), combines the reporting requirements into the annual report and has SIPA submit the report to the JTC, the JBC, and the business committees of the House and Senate.

Senator Newell responded to questions from the committee.

01:34 PM -- Jack Arrowsmith, Executive Director of SIPA, spoke in support of the bill.
