151st GENERAL ASSEMBLY

HOUSE BILL NO. 434

AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER 185, VOLUME 82 OF THE LAWS OF DELAWARE RELATING TO REALLOCATION OF TECHNOLOGY PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT FROM EXECUTIVE BRANCH AGENCIES.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:

Section 1. Amend Section 2, Chapter 185, Volume 82 of the Laws of Delaware by making deletions as shown by strike through and insertions as shown by underline as follows:

Section 2. § 9016C of this Act expires 3 years after its enactment into law, unless otherwise provided by a subsequent act of the General Assembly.

SYNOPSIS

This legislation is based on information technology (“IT”) recommendations of the Government Efficiency and Accountability Review (“GEAR”) Board established by Governor Carney’s Executive Order Four. This act removes the sunset clause in 9016F (formerly 9016C) Chapter 90C of Title 29 of the Delaware Code and allows for the establishment of a shared IT services model for state agencies. The shared services model centralizes the following duties and related executive branch personnel under DTI: technology end user support, cyber security, network management, server management, data management, IT project management, software application development/support, IT procurement oversight, IT fiscal planning, IT standards, and technology governance.

In addition to facilitating the delivery of technology services in a consistent and comprehensive manner, technology centralization will position the State to stay abreast of technologies to enable innovation and enhance services to Delawareans. IT centralization also supports regulatory compliance requirements (e.g. IRS, CJIS), network and data security, and provides controls for the overall State IT landscape and spend.
