SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

House Bill 66 proposes to amend the Electronic Authentication of Documents Act to provide for technological neutrality.

Significant Issues

HB 66 impacts the Secretary of State. An agency bill analysis was requested from the Secretary of State's office and as of the date of this FIR has not responded.

According to Information Technology Management Office (ITMO) staff, a single, adaptable architecture is essential to providing services coherently with security and reliability. Such a system will accommodate the streamlining of government business processes to capture savings and deliver citizen-centric government information and services.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

The ITMO's staff has estimated the estimated impact of HB 66 to be between $2 and $3 million (general fund) to implement a statewide electronic system, depending on the technical solution selected. In addition, there could be approximately $500.0 in recurring (general fund) technical support (personnel, maintenance).

CONFLICT/DUPLICATION/COMPANIONSHIP/RELATIONSHIP

HB 66 is related to HB 88 (Amend Procurement Code) and HB232 (Uniform Electronic Transactions Act). In part, HB88 proposes to amend the Procurement Code to authorize electronic notices and responses. HB 232 intends to enact the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and to establish standards for the use of electronic records and signatures in transactions.
