Provides State information technology contracts will require use of software to document computer use by contractor.
This bill requires state agencies to mandate that IT contractors use specific software to verify all computer-based work hours billed for contracts exceeding $100,000. It directly affects state agencies (Executive Branch and independent authorities) and IT contractors working on such contracts. The software must automatically capture screenshots and track keystrokes/mouse activity every three minutes, provide real-time data access to the state, and retain all verified data for seven years after payment. Contractors cannot charge the state for the software or data access, and contracts must explicitly state that unverified computer work hours will not be paid.
