The bill aims to enhance transparency regarding information technology projects managed by the Agency of Digital Services in Vermont. It mandates the Agency to provide detailed information about these projects in its annual reports and on a publicly accessible website, including a current projects inventory. The intent is to ensure that both the General Assembly and the public are well-informed about the scope, budget, and status of these projects.

Key amendments to existing law include the requirement for the Agency to submit an annual report to the House Committee on Energy and Digital Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Institutions, detailing performance metrics, financial reports, and summaries of active projects. The bill also establishes a current projects inventory that must be updated monthly, providing information such as project names, start dates, estimated completion dates, and budget status. Additionally, it introduces provisions for independent expert reviews of significant projects and outlines the records the Agency must maintain, including business cases and expected benefits. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
