Senate Bill 866 amends the Government Code to authorize the Department of Information Resources to establish or expand a statewide technology center to include participation by a local government or by two or more local governments that are parties to an interlocal agreement. The bill establishes a process for local government participation and selection and authorizes a local government selected for participation to contract with the department to receive services or operations through the center. The bill expands the information resources technologies that are excepted from the law governing state technology centers to include advanced communications services or information services, as those terms are defined by federal law.
