Legislature: legislative agencies; office of digital oversight; establish. Creates new act.

HB 5505 creates Michigan's Office of Digital Oversight within the legislature to improve state agency technology projects. The office investigates IT projects, services, and purchases by state agencies (like departments and commissions) that risk cost overruns or failure, and can collaborate on or take over such projects. It requires state agencies to provide necessary information for investigations and mandates the adoption of modern IT practices like agile development, open-source software, and user-centered design. The office must also study innovative procurement methods to deliver better digital services while protecting data privacy and accessibility. The bill is currently in committee referral after its initial introduction.
