The bill proposes the repeal of Arkansas Code 19-11-269, which pertains to the review of information technology plans. This section previously mandated that the Office of State Procurement ensure that all necessary information was submitted to the Office of Intergovernmental Services for the review of planning and technical requirements before executing contracts or purchases related to information technology products or services that exceeded a total projected amount of $100,000 or were made under cooperative purchase agreements.
By repealing this law, the bill eliminates the requirement for oversight and review of information technology plans, potentially streamlining the procurement process for such contracts and purchases. The removal of these stipulations may lead to a more efficient approach to acquiring information technology services and products within the state.
