House Advances Information Office Bill

Technology expenses for state agencies could soon be minimized thanks to legislation approved by the Oklahoma House today.

House Bill 3145, by Rep. David Derby, R-Owasso, creates an Office of Information Services to be operated and administered by a Chief Information Director.

The bill also removes the current Information Systems Division from under the Oklahoma State Finance Office and creates a separate centralized Information Systems (IT) Division.

The Office of Information Services will have jurisdiction over the technical infrastructure of the state.
