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 detailed information about their information technology (IT) needs and estimated costs in annual budget requests. Specifically, agencies must now quantify technology requirements and associated expenditures (such as software, hardware, and services) when submitting budget forms to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. This change applies to all state agencies submitting budget reports, excluding higher education institutions and certain other specified entities. The bill aims to improve transparency and planning around technology spending within state operations.
