HF 2499 creates a dedicated "technology reinvestment fund" to finance state IT infrastructure projects. It appropriates $17.5 million annually starting July 2026 from the general fund, plus $18.27 million for fiscal year 2025-2026 from the Rebuild Iowa fund, for projects that enhance technology infrastructure, improve government services, and promote economic development. The Department of Management must prioritize projects based on strategic alignment, ROI, feasibility, rural access benefits, and scalability, then submit a prioritized list to the governor for budget recommendations. All funded projects require annual reporting to the legislature on progress, costs, and outcomes, with unspent funds carrying over for two years.
