Under current law, DOA is required to ensure that an adequate level of information technology services is made available to state agencies. This bill requires that DOA additionally conduct cybersecurity emergency incident response for state agencies. The bill funds those activities with up to $10,000,000 each fiscal year in moneys from the general fund that are allocated to sum sufficient appropriations of state agencies. A sum sufficient appropriation is expendable in the amounts necessary to accomplish the purpose specified in the appropriation.
The bill also creates an annual appropriation of general purpose revenues for DOA’s cybersecurity activities generally.
