13         Section 1. Task Force on Business Process Transformation.- 
14         (1) The Legislature finds that one of the greatest benefits 
15  of information technology is its ability to transform 
16  investments into public service. To achieve this, all state 
17  agencies need to be configured and operate using common business 
18  platforms for the different services provided to the public. The 
19  Legislature therefore intends that the same effort required to 
20  consolidate multiple data center assets be used to rationalize 
21  multiple back-office business operations. 
22         (2) The Task Force on Business Process Transformation is 
23  established and assigned to the Agency for Enterprise 
24  Information Technology. 
25         (a) The task force shall be composed of the following five 
26  members: 
27         1. Two members appointed by the Governor. 
28         2. One member appointed by the Chief Financial Officer. 
29         3. One member appointed by the President of the Senate. 
30         4. One member appointed by the Speaker of the House of 
31  Representatives. 
32         (b) Any vacancy on the joint task force shall be filled in 
33  the same manner as the original appointment. 
34         (c) The members of the task force shall select a chair from 
35  among its members.

37  quarterly at the call of, and at the time and place designated 
38  by, the chair. 
39         (e) Members of the task force shall serve without

46         (a) Conduct an inventory of all state government business 
47  process systems that are designed to support public services 
48  directly funded and delivered by state employees through state 
49  agencies or indirectly through contract vendors or other 
50  governmental entities. 
51         (b) Solicit and receive input from subject-matter experts 
52  from the various public and private sectors affected by the 
53  actions of state government. 
54         (c) Develop an enterprise approach to systemic change, with 
55  business case analysis informing all critical decisions and 
56  competitive procurements. 
57         (d) Recommend the development of best practices and 
58  technology process improvements for the administrative support 
59  functions of state government. 
60         (e) Recommend collaborative undertakings that permit best 
61  practices to be scaled across multiple agencies to achieve the 
62  maximum impact and economies of scale. 
63         (f) Recommend funding approaches that eliminate duplication 
64  and provide long-term investment opportunities as technology 
65  improvements and innovations dictate. 
66         (g) Enable state agencies to have the benefit of best-of 
67  class technology for their critical operational business 
68  applications. 
69         (4) The task force shall undertake its mission and 
70  prioritize:
