Supplementing and amending appropriations to Office of Technology
This bill directs $9.3 million from the state's unspent surplus funds to the Office of Technology for use in fiscal year 2025. The legislation authorizes $7 million of this amount specifically for moving government resources and systems to off-site data centers and updating outdated technology to modern standards. The remaining funds are added to the office's existing budget allocation. This action allows the state to utilize available treasury money to support planned infrastructure upgrades without requiring new revenue.
