3 34 This bill concerns department of administrative services
3 35 operations.
4 1 The bill provides that the department of management, and
4 2 not the department of administrative services, is responsible
4 3 for determining which services provided by the department of
4 4 administrative services shall be funded by an appropriation
4 5 and which services will be funded by the government entities
4 6 receiving the service. The bill requires the department of
4 7 management to consult with the department of administrative
4 8 services in making this determination. The bill also provides
4 9 that the department of management is responsible for
4 10 determining which services that will be funded by the
4 11 government entities shall be solely provided by the department
4 12 of administrative services. For those services solely
4 13 provided by the department of administrative services, the
4 14 bill provides for the department of management to establish a
4 15 customer council responsible for reviewing the department of
4 16 administrative services' business plan and setting the rates
4 17 charged government entities regarding the services provided.
4 18 Code section 8A.121, which provided that the department of
4 19 administrative services is responsible for these duties, is
4 20 repealed.
4 21 New Code section 8A.111 lists reports that the department
4 22 of administrative services is required to prepare or produce
4 23 under current law.
4 24 Code section 305.10, concerning agency records, is amended
4 25 to eliminate the requirement that all mandated reports for
4 26 each agency be located at an electronic repository for public
4 27 access developed and maintained by the department of
4 28 administrative services.
