HB 2343 Acceptable Internet use policy for state employees.
Introduced by: S. Chris Jones | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Powers and duties of the Department of Personnel and Training (DPT); acceptable Internet use policy for state employees. On and after December 1, 1999, requires DPT to establish an acceptable Internet use policy (AIUP) for state employees as part of its existing statutory duty to develop state personnel policies. The AIUP is required to (i) prohibit use of the state’s computers and communications services for sending, receiving, viewing, or downloading illegal material and (ii) establish strict disciplinary measures for violations thereof. Agency heads may supplement the Department’s AIUP as they deem appropriate. The bill also amends the Restrictions on State Employee Access to Information Infrastructure Act by including the term “lasciviousness” within the definition of “sexually explicit”. In a second enactment clause, heads of state agencies whose officers and employees are exempt from the Virginia Personnel Act are required to adopt the Department’s AIUP for their employees. The bill is a recommendation of the Joint Commission on Technology and Science.
