A bill for an act relating to matters under the purview of the department of management, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

SF 2141 establishes a dedicated "technology reinvestment fund" to support Iowa state government IT projects. It allocates $17.5 million annually (starting July 2026) from the general fund and $18.27 million from the rebuild Iowa infrastructure fund for technology infrastructure upgrades, new systems, and maintenance that enhance government services while protecting resident privacy. The bill requires the Department of Management to prioritize projects based on strategic alignment, ROI, scalability, rural access improvements, and sustainability, and mandates annual project status reports to the legislature. It also adds background check requirements for IT staff and contractors (including FBI checks every 5 years) and prohibits specific contract terms like excessive indemnity clauses or foreign law jurisdiction. The bill directly affects all Iowa state agencies using technology infrastructure funded through this mechanism.
