The resolution establishes the New Jersey Technology Task Force, which is tasked with studying potential technology upgrades to the state's computer systems, networks, software, and hardware across various government departments and agencies. The focus will be on identifying critical upgrades and those that can be implemented incrementally, with an emphasis on improving interoperability for enhanced efficiency and security in state operations. The task force will consist of 11 members, including key officials from the Office of Information Technology, the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell, and the Administrative Office of the Courts, along with several public members appointed by the Governor, each with expertise in relevant fields.
The task force is required to hold its initial meeting within 90 days of its establishment and will issue a report within 180 days of that meeting. This report will include recommendations for necessary technology upgrades, cost-benefit analyses, and a summary of the benefits of interoperability, along with any relevant information and proposed legislation. The task force will operate without compensation for its members, who will be reimbursed for necessary expenses, and will receive assistance from the Office of Information Technology in carrying out its duties. The task force will dissolve upon the completion and submission of its report.
