Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 531, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to require the Chief Information Officer of the Office of Enterprise Technology Services to update the state information technology strategic plan every four years and to submit the updated plan to the Governor and the Legislature, beginning in advance of the 2021 Regular Session.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 531, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
