“This is a good government efficiency bill,” said Richard Nelson, president of the Utah Information Technology Association (UITA), speaking on behalf of more than 2,900 technology companies statewide. “We applaud this industry-driven effort, and we are pleased to underscore Governor Huntsman’s support of this bill. We believe the technology structure of our state will be substantially stronger as the result of this initiative.”
State officials including Representative David Clark, R-Santa Clara, and Senator Beverly Evans, R-Altamont, who are co-authors of the legislation have characterized the proposed transition as a “natural restructuring” akin to other transformations nationwide, as the demands on the public I.T. sector have evolved.
“HB 109 will give tools to the government that will be used to re-organize technology resources in a manner that will save taxpayer dollars, provide greater benefits and services, and be fair to state employees,” Clark remarked.
