The bill aims to revise the Montana Information Technology Act by updating terminology and granting the Department of Administration exclusive authority to terminate an agency's information technology resources. It also mandates that agencies must utilize an alternative information technology resource when such a termination occurs. This change is intended to streamline the management of information technology resources across state agencies and ensure a more efficient use of technology.

Additionally, the bill amends multiple sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections related to information technology governance and resource management. These amendments are designed to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the Department of Administration and enhance the overall framework for managing information technology within state agencies.
