What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the authority of the Department of Administration to
oversee information technology is limited to executive branch agencies other than
the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System. This bill clarifies that
DOA does not manage the information technology portfolio of the Board of Regents.
The bill also updates outdated terminology regarding information technology
projects undertaken by executive branch agencies and aligns the terminology with
contemporary terminology used in the information technology industry.
This bill also repeals a statute that requires DOA to negotiate with vendors to
facilitate the purchase of computers and other educational technology for private use
by public, private, tribal, and secondary school teachers in this state that is now
obsolete.
