A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 15-11 and a new chapter to title 54 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the state information technology research center, advanced technology review committee, compute credits grant program, and advanced technology grant fund.

The state information technology research center is no longer defined as being located at the University of North Dakota but is instead established as a collaborative virtual center.

The advanced technology review committee now includes the executive director of a digital academy administered by the North Dakota university system as a member.

Committee membership appointment process was modified to remove the majority leader of the house of representatives and senate from the initial appointment list, while adding the governor as an appointing authority for private sector members.

Bill section numbers were updated from 25.0918.01000 to 25.0918.02000 to reflect the new engrossment version.
