This Act sunsets the Technology Investment Council ("TIC"). The Joint Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee ("JLOSC") reviewed TIC in 2022 and, as a result of the review, JLOSC sponsored House Bill No. 357 of the 151st General Assembly. HB 357 updated TIC's statute to streamline operations and prevent redundancies. In February 2024, TIC submitted a memorandum to JLOSC, explaining all of the following:
- Redundancies with other State boards or committees, procedures, and efficiencies remain. And, ensuring that TIC has a quorum to conduct business during meetings continues to be a challenge.
- Six of the 9 TIC members also serve on the Government Efficiency and Accountability Review ("GEAR") Board, including the Chief Justice, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Secretary of Finance, Secretary of the Department of Health and Social Services, the Controller General, and the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Technology and Information ("DTI").
- GEAR has a subcommittee specifically dedicated to IT efficiency and releases an annual report detailing the progress in this focus area.
- TIC convened only once in 2023.
- TIC's goals are achieved through DTI processes and collaboration with agencies, OMB, and GEAR.
- With no objection from TIC members, DTI requested that JLOSC support the sunsetting of TIC.
For these reasons, the Technology Investment Council is sunsetted under this Act.
