Summary

The bill creates (or confirms) an Information Technology Investment Fund that the Secretary of Information Technology can use for the state’s telecommunications network, the statewide public‑safety radio system, and, at the Secretary’s discretion, other state‑owned communication sites and equipment tied to IT agreements.

The measure aims to give the state more flexibility to maintain and upgrade critical communication infrastructure.
