Adds to existing law to authorize the State Controller's business information infrastructure project to create a leadership council and to provide funding.

This bill provides the funding source and governance model for the State Controller's statewide initiative to modernizethestate'sbusinessinformationinfrastructureincludingtheaccounting,payroll,humanresources, budget, and procurement systems. The current system is 30 years old and quickly approaching its end of supportablelife, andtheestimatedreplacementcostisapproximately$102millionoveraprojectedfive-year project timeline. A consistent and secure funding source is created by redirecting the indirect cost recovery fundingcollectedbytheDivisionofFinancialManagementpursuanttosection67-3531IdahoCodefromthe General Fund into a newly created Business Information Infrastructure Fund. Redirecting these funds will not affect the rates paid by state agencies for centralized services. The Business Information Infrastructure Fund is continuously appropriated to the State Controller to procure and implement a modern statewide system under its authority pursuant to section 67-1021, Idaho Code. Any funds remaining after June 30, 2023 will be reverted to the General Fund, and indirect cost recovery funding will resume flowing into the General Fund at that time. To ensure the modernization of the state's business information infrastructure is successful, this bill provides a statewide governance structure led by a council comprised of the Governor, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore, and State Controller.
