RD430 - Reorganization of the Virginia Information Technology Agency's (VITA) Statutory Responsibilities


Executive Summary:
The 2015 Appropriation Act (§ 1-6) directed the formation of a technical staff working group, charged with developing draft legislation that reorganizes, clarifies and codifies, but does not substantively amend, the statutory responsibilities of the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA). The group was formed to address concerns identified in JLARC’s 2014 report on Virginia’s Information Technology Governance Structure. The group was led by the Division of Legislative Services and included staff from VITA, JLARC, the Joint Commission on Technology and Science, the Office of the Attorney General, and the Office of the Secretary of Technology. The working group was directed to present proposed legislation to JLARC in November 2015.
