The bill amends the Children, Youth and Families Department Act by introducing a new section that mandates the exclusive use of state-issued electronic devices for departmental duties. Employees are required to use these devices for all communications related to their work, with non-compliance potentially leading to immediate termination. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the electronic devices must only contain software and applications that adhere to various data retention and protection laws.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a requirement for the department to implement a backup system by January 1, 2026, which will back up all electronic records generated or received by employees on an hourly basis. It also mandates the retention of these electronic records for a minimum of twenty-four years after an employee's termination. The bill defines key terms such as "back up," "electronic device," and "electronic records" to clarify the scope of the new regulations.
