HB 909 Montana House · 2025 Regular Session

Create a technology interim committee

This bill creates a new Technology Interim Committee to oversee Montana's state information technology systems and review related legislation. The committee would examine long-term technology spending, evaluate how new laws apply to technology across state agencies, and monitor best practices to protect citizens' digital information. It also requires agencies to prepare detailed summaries of major technology purchases and budget requests before they are approved. The bill amends existing laws to formally establish this committee and update the list of interim committees that operate when the legislature is not in session.
