Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1604 by Blanco (Relating to the requirements for and approval of a state agency’s information security plan.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code relating to a state agency's information security plan. The bill would require the executive head and chief information security officer of each state agency to annually review and approve in writing the agency's information security plan and strategies for addressing the agency's information resources systems that are at highest risk for security breaches. The bill would require an agency to file the written approval with the Legislative Budget Board before submitting a legislative appropriation request for a state fiscal biennium. It is assumed that any additional work to implement the provisions of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
