The bill amends Section 35.3 of the Information Technology Consolidation and Coordination Act, specifically updating the definitions related to state agencies and their functions. Notably, it introduces new language to clarify the definition of "state agency" by including specific entities such as the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, the District Attorneys Council, the Office of the Attorney General, and the Office of the State Auditor and Inspector, while excluding institutions within The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education and others.
The bill also establishes an effective date of November 1, 2025, for these changes to take effect. This legislative update aims to enhance the clarity and scope of the definitions within the act, ensuring that the roles and responsibilities of various state agencies in relation to information technology are well-defined and understood.
