The 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, studying innovative procurement methods, and managing cybersecurity in accordance with industry best practices.

Additionally, the office is empowered to initiate investigations based on complaints or its own initiative and will have access to necessary records from state agencies. Confidentiality is emphasized, with the office and its staff bound by the same confidentiality laws as the entities providing information. The bill also clarifies that it does not grant the office access to privileged information and exempts its investigation records from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
