The House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Carlson urges the Division of Administration, Office of Technology Services, and the Legislative Budgetary Control Council to conduct independent studies on the three oldest and three most expensive information technology systems used by state agencies. The resolution highlights the importance of modern and efficient technology systems for delivering services to citizens and mitigating risks associated with outdated technology, such as inefficiencies, vulnerabilities to cyberattacks, and potential service interruptions. The findings from these studies are to be reported to the legislature by January 1, 2025.

The reports are expected to include an executive summary and detailed findings for each identified system, including recommendations for improvements, potential costs and savings, risks of failure, and concerns regarding transitioning to new technology, including cloud-based services. Additionally, the resolution outlines the need for transparency while also addressing the confidentiality of sensitive information, requiring redacted copies of reports when necessary. The overall goal is to ensure that the state's information technology systems are up-to-date, secure, and capable of effectively serving the public.
