01:35 PM -- HB15-1266

Representative Rankin, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 15-1266. This bill, recommended by the Joint Budget Committee (JBC), makes changes to the process for the submission and consideration of information technology (IT) capital budget requests from state agencies and higher education institutions. Under current law, IT budget requests are not included in the definition of capital construction. Additionally, IT budget requests must be funded from the General Fund rather than the Capital Construction Fund (CCF).

The bill creates a new account within the CCF specifically for appropriations for IT budget requests and establishes a process for the consideration and funding of supplemental IT budget requests that mirrors the existing process for supplemental capital construction and general operating requests. New, amended, or supplemental IT budget requests that are submitted to the Joint Technology Committee (JTC) are required to clearly identify and quantify anticipated administrative and operating efficiencies or program enhancements and service expansion through cost-benefit analyses and return-on-investment calculations.
