HB 1593-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to the department of information technology.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Information Technology states this bill will have an indeterminable impact on state expenditures in FY 2015 and each year thereafter. There will be no impact on state revenues, or county and local revenues or expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Information Technology states this bill would repeal the July 1, 2014 repeal of the Department. The Department states if it were abolished it is not known whether or not existing staff would be reassigned to state agencies and assumes each agency would need additional support staff for applications that are currently centralized under the Department (i.e., e-mail services, server administration, network engineering, etc…). The Department states the cost for hiring additional information technology staff is indeterminable at this time. The Department also states the elimination of strategic oversight, coordination, and collaboration it currently provides would result in an increase in the state’s overall information technology budget.
