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 and document instances of child abuse and neglect. It highlights the need for improved communication and collaboration among these agencies to maximize the benefits of OTS, which was created to streamline IT services across state agencies and enhance data sharing capabilities.
The resolution mandates that the working group report its activities, findings, and results to the legislature on a quarterly basis. This initiative aims to ensure that the technological needs of agencies are met and that they can work together more effectively, ultimately improving the safety and welfare of children in the state. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the chief information officer of OTS to facilitate this process.
