Chapter 4 – Information Technology

47080.2 Purpose

• The purpose of this Article is to support the Global Warming Solutions Act (AB32), which was passed in 2006 and requires that by 2020 California’s greenhouse gas emissions be reduced to 1990 levels, a roughly 25 percent reduction under business-as-usual estimates. It also supports Government Code 11545(b)(3), which calls for “minimizing overlap, redundancy, and cost in state operations by promoting the efficient and effective use of information technology.” In addition, this Article supports California Department of Technology (CDT) Technology Letter (TL) 12-5 which states that agencies are no longer required to submit an Information Technology (ITInformation Technology) Facilities/Space Construction review form to the CTA for approval before undertaking any computer room construction, expansion, or modification.
