MAJOR INFORMATION RESOURCES PROJECT.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) A state agency may not spend appropriated funds for a major information resources project unless the project has been approved by:
(1) the Legislative Budget Board in the agency's biennial operating plan; and
(2) the quality assurance team.
(b) The department shall develop rules or guidelines for its review of major information resources projects and project management practices for the projects. The department shall also assist the Legislative Budget Board in evaluating the determinations about comparative costs and benefits that state agencies make under Subsection (c).
(c) A state agency that proposes to spend appropriated funds for a major information resources project must first determine:
(1) the comparative benefits of using agency personnel contrasted with using outside contractors to design the project; and
(2) the comparative total costs of leasing and of purchasing the information resources and information resources technologies involved in the project, with those costs to be determined after taking into account the use of the resources and technologies over their lifetimes.
(d) Before a state agency may initially spend appropriated funds for a major information resources project, the state agency must quantitatively define the expected outcomes and outputs for the project and provide that information to the quality assurance team.
