This bill aims to revise laws concerning information technology capital projects in Montana and appropriates funds for these projects for the biennium ending June 30, 2027. It includes provisions for the acquisition, implementation, and configuration of new information technology systems, as well as promoting efficiencies across statewide networks. The bill establishes definitions for key terms such as "chief information officer," "information technology resource," and "information technology capital project." It also outlines the requirements for project plans, which must be approved by the chief information officer and the budget director before funds can be released.

Additionally, the bill specifies a transfer of $38,702,846 from the general fund to the Long-Range Information Technology Program (LRITP) account as needed by June 30, 2027. Several projects are funded under this appropriation, including enhancements to cybersecurity, modernization of various systems, and improvements to public health services. Notably, the total appropriated amount for certain projects has been adjusted, with a decrease in funding for the Department of Administration from $22,653,700 to $21,753,700, and similar reductions for other departments. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
