The 6 bill strikes the standing appropriation to the technology 7 reinvestment fund and provides that any moneys in the fund 8 shall remain available for three years after the appropriation 9 is made. 10 The bill increases the frequency at which a person 11 performing work for DOM or an individual on the information 12 technology staff of a supported entity may be subject to a 13 national criminal history check through the federal bureau of 14 investigation from at least once every 10 years to every 5 15 years. 16 The bill prohibits the inclusion of certain provisions in 17 information technology contracts and declares those provisions 18 void if present in such contracts.
