Senate Resolution No. by Senator Barrow calls for the Division of Administration's Office of Technology Services (OTS) to establish a working group that includes all state agencies responsible for child safety, welfare, and protection. The resolution emphasizes the importance of utilizing technology to effectively track reports of child abuse and neglect, highlighting that prior to the consolidation of IT divisions in 2014, these agencies operated independently and could not share information. It notes that despite the establishment of OTS, which aims to enhance the state's investment in technology and improve inter-agency collaboration, the agencies have not fully leveraged the opportunities for coordinated data sharing.

The resolution mandates that the working group report quarterly to the legislature on its activities, findings, and results, underscoring the critical need for improved communication and collaboration among agencies to better serve and protect children in the state. The resolution concludes by directing that a copy be sent to the chief information officer of OTS to ensure awareness and action on this initiative.
