Sean Montero, chief of computing services, told the committee the product launched in February and said the state has seen “more than 80,000 new constituents” register for the single sign-on and “authenticated over half a million logins.” He said agencies that have adopted the system — including the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services in the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Motor Vehicles — use the service to provide multi-factor authentication and other protections they did not previously have.

State Chief Information Officer Timothy Galuzzi framed the work as part of a broader effort to reduce credential sprawl across executive-branch systems. “If you’re doing business with executive branch, you have 1 username, 1 password regardless of what agency you’re doing business with,” he said, adding that centralized multi-factor authentication reduces phishing and other compromise vectors.

Committee members asked about cost allocation, proofing (identity verification) and the potential cost savings. Montero said agencies currently perform identity “proofing” themselves — for example, DMV and Welfare use their own verification workflows — and that a statewide rollout could require engaging professional identity-proofing services for smaller agencies that lack capacity. The OCIO did not present a detailed per-agency cost comparison at the hearing; Director Galuzzi said cybersecurity incidents can be costly, estimating that incident response “could be to tune of 1.5 or 3 million dollars” to bring in external vendors for recovery, and arguing prevention and consolidated security are financially beneficial.

On funding, OCIO said the enhancement is proposed as an extension of its business-productivity suite and suggested the infrastructure assessment cost pool as the appropriate charge, while remaining open to staff conversations about alternative pools or user-based rates. Committee members asked OCIO to work with legislative and finance staff to clarify rate models and to provide more precise estimates of expected agency savings and potential third-party proofing costs.

No formal action was taken at the hearing. OCIO said it will continue outreach to other agencies, including the Secretary of State and the Department of Education, which have expressed interest in consolidating identity services.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","3/26/2025 - Assembly Ways and Means and Senate Finance Subcommittee on General Government","oneSentenceSummary","The Office of the Chief Information Officer told the Joint Subcommittee on General Government it has launched a public-facing single sign-on identity service using Microsoft B2C and is promoting statewide adoption to reduce duplication, improve constituent experience and strengthen login security.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature NV, Nevada","taxId",78440,"location","Nevada","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6592763,"Nevada OCIO seeks to move fiscal work in-house, cites $1.1 million biennial savings",2464,591000,3055000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2778103-19e7554ac518847894858c3f64bac7dd&start=591&end=3055","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2778103-19e7554ac518847894858c3f64bac7dd/thumbnail_591000.jpg","/articles/6592763/Nevada/Nevada-OCIO-seeks-to-move-fiscal-work-in-house-cites-11-million-biennial-savings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6592763-ccf8ec4b212f6ef9e1f816bc624e5df6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771067374&Signature=SF5wnZITdhDWQOc1AlQi~bkvHhNvHALHSXgtsjS2~fmbPC3fIdV9pgSGfo-MKolsssVx~pa3ZKtB7hNXqGHufxzNRzBuClz0F1IfnX4LejN9Kgslkn8SRlCnW6H71mCFAZFaVnZCI9O3lh0kfn2GRtu4cDP9KvZUhAA1-iY-CAg88E143X9D78pXeQm0mc7AIINSsVe8IM6s22FoVZ36kHgggbO5-a1gW8rlSNaOztMcO599Hi6FxLWU-Ld45YbIQol4T7xUmt3jOrnyMDvc~1fQxox2nrTs81B~e3LMmaKClHk8EP3nDxf-f0dQ-w73BMkrc9RmBvJEQWOUxcaCwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a hearing of the Nevada Legislature’s Joint Subcommittee on General Government held with members and staff in Carson City and Las Vegas, the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) told legislators it seeks authority to transfer fiscal work away from the Department of Administration’s Administrative Services Division (ASD) into an OCIO fiscal unit.

The change is part of a budget amendment OCIO Director Timothy Galuzzi described as “reflects a over a $1,100,000 in savings to our agency and our rate payers across the biennium.” He said the amendment would create two fiscal positions and invest in rate-building and management software to lower rates charged to agencies that use OCIO services.

The shift would reallocate three management analyst positions currently assigned to separate OCIO units into a centralized fiscal unit, and add at least one accounting assistant position in the governor’s recommended budget. Tiffany Morelli, OCIO chief financial officer, told the committee the reorganization is intended to “remove some of that clerical work that the management analysts are doing right now” and to create an accounts-payable role that would receive invoices, route approvals, and enter data into the financial system. She said a second accounting assistant proposed in the budget amendment would handle billing generation, pay-clerk duties and contract tracking.

Legislators pressed OCIO on the accuracy of cost estimates and readiness to operate fiscal functions internally. Assemblymember Watts asked whether OCIO had modeled workload and whether the two new positions would be sufficient; Director Galuzzi said OCIO consulted with ASD and based its determination on those conversations. Morelli said OCIO performed a workflow analysis comparing current processes, transaction volumes and role duties and expects to leverage technology tools such as OnBase and ERP improvements to gain efficiencies.

Daniel Marlowe, administrator for ASD, told the committee ASD’s cost allocation uses a blended utilization metric governed by the statewide cost allocation plan (SWICAP) and federal Section 2 reporting. He said ASD typically serves smaller agencies that cannot cost-effectively maintain internal fiscal operations and noted OCIO has grown to the point where it can support internal controls and separation of duties.

OCIO and ASD representatives described a phased transition plan. Morelli said recruitment and training would begin immediately if authority is granted, and she and Galuzzi described coordinating with ASD on an anticipated handoff timeline (they suggested a fall transition window, around September, for training and overlap). OCIO said it expects the change to remove ASD direct services to OCIO after the transition.

No formal vote or motion on the amendment was recorded at the hearing. Committee members asked for follow-up materials and numbers clarifying differences between the governor’s recommended budget and separate budget amendment documents.

Because the amendment would shift costs to OCIO budget account 13‑73 and then allocate them back to OCIO’s customer accounts, Morelli said OCIO plans to continue distributing costs monthly across its other budget accounts rather than charging a separate external rate for the 13‑73 activities.

The discussion closed with legislators requesting further documentation of the analysis and the operational transition plan before approving the fiscal reorganization.","The Office of the Chief Information Officer told a legislative subcommittee it proposes withdrawing from Administrative Services Division fiscal services, adding accounting staff and realizing more than $1.1 million in biennium savings while redistributing costs across OCIO budget accounts.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6592754,"Nevada OCIO outlines mainframe management, cloud support staffing and rate questions",0,4575000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2778103-19e7554ac518847894858c3f64bac7dd&start=4575&end=4575","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2778103-19e7554ac518847894858c3f64bac7dd/thumbnail_4575000.jpg","/articles/6592754/Nevada/Nevada-OCIO-outlines-mainframe-management-cloud-support-staffing-and-rate-questions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6592754-2c94ac1d893cef9905588b07a4972984/orig.mp4?Expires=1771067374&Signature=XSmT4ymYhjgCu1-AkY~7zb7Tt5-lfvD-LRgbNmiKzRlkTVLUPHiShQE2YHZMho8K4N32~zCZrXvs0casZIwaa3qy~j9Ck8eqsC7-Tvx5Dh3r29Dr2KD0SvjIBK0aDtmhLr8cWUvuLDqfxdMWmik~a1lE21tL6Z4HySvbzhVafRCQLdMh9JmdMeAS2p6xf3TYTwRHWll0J0X2ZO4JQyKwGdKjANUtZDFgwJza~t92iHnZR9WglYTGzBi87EAFo6jd7zvbbMH6vsruOj5u9bVTdyXcn1d7NhYDWsl3mV4CjO7I5OYDuF2sYbcTZJxSvRSnA6P~Y2kgCLD3JlcO2D9Azg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Joint Subcommittee on General Government hearing, OCIO officials described ongoing mainframe management under a managed-services contract and flagged continued uncertainty about a firm decommission date as agencies migrate workloads.

Timothy Galuzzi, state chief information officer, said the managed-services contract obtained last session “has given us the flexibility to be able to manage the cost” as agencies modernize. He declined to set a definitive shutdown date for the mainframe, saying decommissioning timing is driven by agency project schedules and modernization efforts.

Sean Montero, chief of computing services, described a set of proposed initiatives to support cloud identity and cloud infrastructure. He said OCIO plans to add ITP‑4 positions to support a consumer-facing identity service and to add infrastructure support staff for public cloud adoption. Montero told the committee that as agencies move workloads to Azure and other cloud platforms, OCIO has insufficient current staff to onboard those services and that vendor offsets would help fund the additional FTEs.

Committee members asked whether the state would realize savings when the mainframe is fully retired. Montero said agencies project savings from modernization work but cautioned that the state’s overall savings depend on when all agencies leave the platform; until then the state may need to renegotiate contracts or adopt interim solutions. Galuzzi said OCIO can support agencies as needed and described options such as cloud-based mainframe emulation if a small number of agencies remain on legacy systems.

Legislators also asked about rate design for cloud infrastructure. OCIO said developing a durable cloud rate will require more work and recommended further interim work with legislative fiscal staff and the Governor’s Finance Office to evaluate model options — including a cost-plus approach — before a legislative budget decision.

No formal committee action was taken at the hearing.","OCIO described managed services for the state mainframe, uncertainty about an exact decommission date, and requested new computing positions to support identity and cloud services; agency officials told legislators cloud-rate design will require further work during the interim.","actionData","errors"]
