Committee holds House Bill 4 and sends RS31950 to second reading after discussion of multifactor authentication
Summary
The committee voted to hold House Bill 4 in committee and to introduce RS31950 and send it to the second reading calendar. The RS and the bill address implementing multifactor authentication for state accounts and clarifying the Office of Information Technology Services' role for the executive branch.
Representative Bridal Raybel, for the record identifying herself as a state representative from District 34, told the House Commerce and Human Resources Committee that RS31950 is a corrective version of House Bill 4 and does not change the bill’s intent.
Bridal Raybel said House Bill 4 addresses workforce-related cybersecurity, focusing on multifactor authentication (MFA) for state accounts. “One of the easiest sort of low hanging fruit that's available to us is to implement multifactor authentication,” she told the committee, describing MFA as a secondary confirmation beyond a password that is required to access state networks and services such as email and OneDrive.
