OFA Fiscal Note
No Fiscal Impact
The amendment has no fiscal impact. It requires the Office of Policy
and Management (OPM) to develop a policy regarding the use of
social media by executive branch state agencies, except for the
Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP). It
then requires all other state agencies, except DESPP, to adopt a policy
that meets or exceeds the standards of the policy developed by OPM. It
is anticipated that the provisions of the amendment can be met with
existing resources.
