The proposed bill establishes the "state digital service office" within the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget, aimed at enhancing the state's digital services and software development practices. The office will be led by a Chief Digital Service Officer, appointed by the governor with legislative consent, who will oversee the implementation of modern software development strategies, including agile methodologies and user-centered design. The digital service office is tasked with reviewing software development projects with budgets of $1 million or more, promoting effective digital services based on user needs, and coordinating training for state agencies on software project management.

Additionally, the digital service office is required to submit annual reports to various legislative and budgetary bodies detailing its actions, progress on adopting modern practices, and any cost-saving measures achieved. The office will also report on resident-centered outcomes from reviewed projects and notify relevant parties if any projects encounter significant issues. The bill emphasizes the importance of fostering a cultural change within the state's technology workforce to support the adoption of innovative practices and ensure efficient service delivery to residents.
