TITLE 67 STATE GOVERNMENT AND STATE AFFAIRS CHAPTER 8 EXECUTIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS — GOVERNOR AND LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR 67-830. DECLARATION OF PURPOSE. The legislature finds that advances in information technology and telecommunications present significant opportunities for the state of Idaho to improve the efficiency and productivity of state government, to encourage public access to government information and to enhance lifelong educational and training opportunities. The implications of these information technology and telecommunications advances require a centralized and coordinated strategic planning process involving the expertise and participation of experienced persons from both state government and the private sector. The establishment of the Idaho technology authority will facilitate a centralized approach to the acquisition and evaluation of necessary technical information and the informed development of a statewide strategic plan to ensure a coordinated approach to the design, procurement and implementation of information technology and telecommunications systems for both state government and the public.
