SB 821 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

State fiscal affairs; modifying the information required on certain form to include certain technology needs and estimated expenditures.

SB 821 requires Oklahoma state agencies to include specific details about information technology needs and estimated costs in their annual budget requests to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. This amendment to existing budget reporting rules (62 O.S. 2021, Section 34.36) mandates agencies to quantify technology expenditures, including IT services and systems, alongside other budget details. The requirement applies to all state agencies submitting budget forms, though it excludes the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and institutions within the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education. This change aims to improve transparency around technology spending in state agency budgets.
