HSB 72: Relating to matters under the purview of the department of management, making appropriations, and including applicability provisions

What it does

This bill relates to matters under the purview of the department of management (DOM). Under current law, the governor’s budget recommendation is considered confidential by the legislative services agency until it is made public by the governor. The bill states that information transmitted by state entities to DOM for developing the budget as required by law, and documents based on the transmittals, are confidential until the governor transmits the budget to the general assembly. The bill strikes current law providing for the use of moneys in the technology reinvestment fund for certain technology projects and instead appropriates moneys in the fund to DOM for technology projects using factors set forth in the bill.
