The bill amends the Information Technology Consolidation and Coordination Act by updating definitions and establishing guidelines for hiring information technology personnel within state agencies. Specifically, it expands the definitions of "state agency" to include additional 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. The bill also introduces a new section that allows state agencies to employ information technology personnel, contingent upon entering a memorandum of understanding with the Chief Information Officer (CIO). This memorandum must outline the specific positions, qualifications, and adherence to standards set by the CIO for data integrity and security.

Additionally, the bill grants the CIO the authority to audit compliance with the memorandum of understanding and other requirements. It emphasizes that no information technology personnel can be hired or retained until the memorandum is fully executed. The bill is declared an emergency measure, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, thereby ensuring that the updated guidelines and definitions are implemented without delay.
