SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Secretary of Technology; security audits; government databases. Requires the Secretary of Technology to develop policies, procedures and standards for conducting audits of government databases and data communications. The Secretary is also required to direct an appropriate entity to conduct periodic audits of all executive branch agencies and institutions of higher education regarding security procedures for protecting government databases and data communications. The designated entity may contract with a private firm or firms in completing this task. All government entities subject to such audits are to fully cooperate with the designated entity. This responsibility was originally given to the Governor; this bill repeals those sections and transfers the responsibility to the Secretary of Technology.
