 16 16                           EXPLANATION 
 16 17    This bill relates to state government technology operations
 16 18 by making appropriations to a number of entities for such
 16 19 technology.  Specifically the bill makes appropriations for
 16 20 the 2000-2001 fiscal year from the general fund of the state
 16 21 for debt service associated with the Iowa communications
 16 22 network, for subsidization of operations of the network
 16 23 necessary as a result of charging authorized users video rates
 16 24 which generate less revenue than necessary to cover associated
 16 25 costs of the network, for support functions related to the
 16 26 network provided by the public broadcasting division of the
 16 27 department of education, and for information technology
 16 28 services provided by the division of information technology
 16 29 services of the department of general services to other state
 16 30 agencies.
 16 31    The bill creates a pooled technology account in the office
 16 32 of the treasurer of state under the control of the division of
 16 33 information technology services of the department of general
 16 34 services for the purpose of supporting various technology
 16 35 projects.  The account is to be funded by taking a portion of
 17  1 funds which are subject to reversion from the 1999-2000 fiscal
 17  2 year, and by transferring certain moneys which have been
 17  3 previously appropriated but which have not been spent.  The
 17  4 technology projects specified are to be funded in the order
 17  5 provided in the bill to the extent that funds are available.
 17  6    The bill provides for funding for IowAccess and provides
 17  7 that it is the intent of the general assembly that all fees
 17  8 collected associated with transactions through IowAccess are
 17  9 to be deposited in the IowAccess revolving fund created in
 17 10 Code section 18.187 and shall be used only for the support of
 17 11 IowAccess projects.
 17 12    The bill creates a new Code section 14B.102A which creates
 17 13 an operations revolving fund for an information technology
 17 14 department, if such department is created during the 2000
 17 15 regular session.
 17 16    The bill provides for the transfer of Code sections
 17 17 relating to IowAccess if an information technology department
 17 18 is established during the 2000 regular session.
 17 19    The bill provides that certain appropriations made in prior
 17 20 years are not to revert but are to remain available for the
 17 21 purposes for which appropriated for the 2000-2001 fiscal year.
 17 22    The bill provides an immediate effective date for portions
 17 23 of the bill.
