INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Nielsen

                        FEBRUARY 23, 2012

   An act to amend Section 68511.9 of the Government Code, relating
to courts.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2119, as introduced, Nielsen. Courts: information technology
projects.
   Existing law provides that the California Case Management System,
and all other administrative and infrastructure information
technology projects of the Judicial Council or the courts with total
costs estimated at more than $5,000,000, shall be subject to the
review and recommendations of the California Technology Agency, as
specified. Existing law requires the Secretary of California
Technology to submit a copy of those reviews and recommendations to
the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
   Existing law renames the office of the State Chief Information
Officer as the California Technology Agency and the position of the
State Chief Information Officer as the Secretary of California
Technology and imposes duties on both regarding state information
technology governance and implementation.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provisions
requiring review of judicial information technology projects by
correcting obsolete cross-references to the State Chief Information
Officer and the office of the State Chief Information Officer.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
