This bill establishes a Digital Oversight Office within the Michigan legislature, which will be responsible for overseeing information technology projects, services, and purchasing by state agencies. The office will be led by a Digital Oversight Officer, appointed for a three-year term by a majority vote from both houses of the legislature. The officer can be removed for cause with a two-thirds vote. The office's duties include investigating IT projects, collaborating with state agencies, promoting modern software development practices, and studying innovative procurement methods to enhance the delivery of digital services.

The bill outlines the procedures for the office to receive complaints and conduct investigations, ensuring that state agencies provide necessary information while maintaining confidentiality. It also specifies that the office cannot access records protected by attorney-client privilege or court orders. Additionally, all records related to the office's investigations will be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The bill emphasizes the importance of user-centered design and modern development practices to improve the quality and efficiency of digital services provided by the state.
