This bill mandates that State agencies in New Jersey submit specific documentation for information technology projects that exceed $2.5 million in value. Agencies are required to provide a written business case that includes a description of the business need, project budget, operational impact estimates, available options, anticipated benefits, risk analysis, and an assessment of necessary business process improvements and change management. This business case must be submitted to the New Jersey Office of Information Technology at least 30 days before requesting State funds or issuing procurement documents. Additionally, the Office of Information Technology, in collaboration with other divisions, will report findings and recommendations to the Office of Management and Budget.

Furthermore, the bill requires State agencies to develop and submit a change management plan for projects that either exceed the $2.5 million threshold, involve multiple agencies, or significantly alter existing service delivery processes. The change management plan must include a stakeholder analysis, impact assessments, risk evaluations, and a communication strategy, among other elements. Agencies are encouraged to seek best practices from external experts to enhance their change management efforts. All plans must be submitted to the New Jersey Office of Information Technology and other relevant divisions to ensure comprehensive oversight and effective implementation.
