IN RE:
HB3875 by Capriglione (Relating to cloud compatibility of certain state agency information technology purchases.), As Passed 2nd House
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 2157 of the Government Code, relating to cloud compatibility of certain state agency information technology purchases.
The bill changes existing statute to require, rather than recommend, that new information system purchases under Section 2054.118 of the Government Code be capable of cloud computing implementation, minus certain exemptions. If the agency utilizes an exemption, the agency must submit a report to the Legislative Budget Board or quality assurance team at least 14 days prior to the initial solicitation.
The Department of Information Resources and Comptroller of Public Accounts have indicated there would be no significant fiscal impact.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
