11:38 AM -- HB15-1213

The committee reconvened. Representatives Tate and Tyler, co-sponsors, presented House Bill 15-1213. They distributed a fact sheet about the bill (Attachment C). This bill, recommended by the Joint Technology Committee, makes changes related to the Governor's Office of Information Technology (OIT). Specifically, it defines an enterprise agreement as any agreement for the purchase of information technology (IT), including IT goods and services, that OIT enters into for the benefit of the state and that is created in furtherance of the office's requirements or responsibilities. The definition of an enterprise facility is changed to include any facility, including state offices, state warehouses, state leased spaces, and vendor facilities that OIT designates as a facility where state data, equipment, and IT, including IT goods, will be located or where services will be provided.

The bill also changes the responsibilities of OIT to include the procurement of enterprise facilities and the use of enterprise agreements. Finally, the bill eliminates provisions of current law that exempt OIT from using the state's procurement code in emergencies and require OIT to promulgate rules for emergency procedures.

11:41 AM -- Michael Shea, representing OIT, testified in support of the bill. Mr. Shea addressed a question from the committee. Steven Sizemore, representing OIT, came to the table to address a question from the committee about a part of the bill referencing the State Procurement Code. He also discussed how emergency spending is authorized by the department.
