State IT security rules from early 2000s to be repealed and handled via updated policies
Summary
The Department of Transformation and Shared Services asked the subcommittee to repeal seven obsolete information-technology rules originally promulgated by a now-defunct office; staff said modern policies and standards already cover the subjects and the subcommittee approved the repeals.
The Administrative Rules Subcommittee reviewed and approved repeal of seven long-standing information-technology rules that date to the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Jennifer Davis, an attorney with the Department of Transformation and Shared Services, told members BLR identified the rules during codification and that the office that issued them (the executive chief information officer office) was disbanded in 2007. Davis said modern policies and standards maintained by the Division of Information Systems now govern virus scanning, password management, warning banners, personnel security, project management and encryption. "All of this information technology security is being done, but at a much more, updated level than it was in 1997," Davis said.
No public comments were received; the subcommittee approved the repeals together after a brief overview and no member questions.
