Sec. 2054.1184. EXECUTION CAPABILITY READINESS SCORING
[ASSESSMENT] OF MAJOR INFORMATION RESOURCES PROJECT. (a) A state
agency proposing to spend appropriated funds for a major
information resources project must first use a proven and
industry-established automated tool that collects operational and
technical information through multiple domains of measurement and
that calculates the overall [conduct an] execution capability of
the agency to implement the project [assessment] to:
(1) identify, and provide corrective action for,
vulnerabilities by domain that may affect the agency's ability to
successfully implement [determine the agency's capability for
implementing] the project;
(2) remove decision biases to reduce the agency's
financial risk in implementing the project; and
(3) increase the probability of the agency's
successful implementation of the project.
(b) A state agency shall submit to the department, the
quality assurance team established under Section 2054.158, and the
Legislative Budget Board a detailed report that identifies the
agency's vulnerabilities by domain [organizational strengths and
any weaknesses] that will be addressed before the agency initially
spends appropriated funds for a major information resources
project.
(c) A state agency may contract with an independent third
party to review the execution capability report prepared by the
agency [conduct the assessment] under Subsection (a) and prepare
the report described by Subsection (b).
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
