§ 11856 State System Usage Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •State departments must use a specific system when they can.
  • •No more reports are needed about how the system is built or used after July 1, 2022.
  • •The department has to make and keep a plan for the system.

Example

A state office wants to buy new computers for their work.

They have to use the system mentioned in the law if they can. They don’t have to write reports about how they set up or use the system anymore. But they do need to follow a plan made by the department.
