Sean (staff member) told the committee House Bill 3230 requires the State Chief Information Officer to contract for an independent assessment of the executive department’s information technology environment, including recommendations for governance, organizational and operational models, a gap analysis comparing current and recommended environments, and an implementation plan with cost estimates and time frames. Materials for the bill, including a fiscal impact statement, revenue impact statement and an updated staff measure summary, are posted on OLIS, the legislature’s information system.

The committee considered and adopted the dash‑2 amendment, which sets dates for completing the assessment and submitting the report. Representative Nathanson described the amendment as “so simple. It’s to put a date in,” and staff confirmed the amendment establishes March 31 for the assessment and April 30 for the subsequent report.

Senator Manning moved adoption of the dash‑2 amendment and later moved that House Bill 3230 be reported out with a \"do pass as amended\" recommendation and referred to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means by prior reference. Both motions were approved without objection. The committee record does not include a roll‑call tally in the transcript.

Committee members discussed next steps for committee assignments should the bill proceed to full Ways and Means and noted assignment of a carrier for floor action will be determined later by the co‑chairs. Representative Nathanson and others commented in favor of the measure, with one member saying they typically do not favor studies but consider this assessment important.

The committee closed the work session and moved on to the scheduled informational meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Joint Committee On Information Management and Technology 03/28/2025 1:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","Representative Nathanson, Co‑chair of the Joint Committee on Information Management and Technology, opened a work session on March 28 on House Bill 3230 and asked staff to summarize the measure.","taxTitle","Information Management and Technology, Joint, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",18221,"location","Oregon","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},6100558,"Chief Data Officer reports open‑data and geospatial progress; pilot MOU launched for interagency sharing",1017,3996250,5013739,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2813154-e90ae3295cf505abb24a587597c5eb20&start=3996&end=5013","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2813154-e90ae3295cf505abb24a587597c5eb20/thumbnail_3996250.jpg","/articles/6100558/Oregon/Chief-Data-Officer-reports-opendata-and-geospatial-progress-pilot-MOU-launched-for-interagency-sharing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100558-9f81290ed798a202dd3186a4e17dad90/orig.mp4?Expires=1770820350&Signature=hJNrZYU2zC~goVYCnyn5JdsL5DlQC3MgiappcP-lAkQGcZcB~NOyiiCis3I~qgKp0~BWPLXW2aauvbN8NgXWWf4CB1xC3c1uAaSF-TU9bn04trEVU~G~Q1WZ4MTIAJywHrnyTpWNpAh2Y7InP5E86Jh9bl-jtBWf0k1Wt1SD1uHCMeLKD0g~gQvOX3Tr9K9wWBUFEgLL5D2TaxEWj6QXxjtjM0MoiBLVtI8gX9HujhhwiIXEsTZUJ-H-UkcMMzt6aajtMR1cxCDv~m3etIYMfhX15be0RGbU7c7U2ib1aIgSUCea7ura52a3jf9fml-RvRJn94vg23~qIQzmUVQBQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Catherine Darnell Helms, the State of Oregon’s chief data officer, briefed the Joint Committee on Information Management and Technology on March 28 on the Chief Data Office’s open data and geospatial work.

Helms outlined statutory duties established by prior legislation: House Bill 3361 created the Chief Data Office and House Bill 2906 required public bodies to share geospatial data for public purposes. She said agencies must inventory data, appoint open‑data coordinators and produce biennial open‑data plans; those inventories and plans are published on the state open data portal (data.oregon.gov).

Helms described program status: most agencies have named open‑data coordinators and many have published at least one machine‑readable dataset. She emphasized that publishable open data must be machine readable (PDF tables do not qualify) and highlighted examples available today, including state expenditures and budget data published with metadata and data dictionaries for users.

On interagency data sharing, Helms said the Chief Data Office convened a working group of 13 agencies following the governor’s 2024 executive order on housing and homelessness and drafted an enterprise memorandum of understanding (MOU). A pilot MOU this year will include Oregon Housing and Community Services, the Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Department of Human Services; the pilot aims to vet procedures and agency maturity assessments and to produce a playbook and training to support broader adoption in 2026.

Helms also reported geospatial program accomplishments: Oregon’s GeoHub is live and hosts framework datasets, the 2024 statewide ortho (aerial) imagery collection has completed, and the new State Geographic Information Officer position will be posted in April 2025. She said accurate and complete locational data are critical to Next Generation 911 and other services.

Members praised the progress and asked follow‑up questions; Helms noted a biennial report filed with the committee provides additional detail and pledged to post strategy and GeoHub materials referenced during the meeting.","Catherine Darnell Helms, Oregon’s chief data officer, told the Joint Committee on Information Management and Technology on March 28 that the state’s open data program and geospatial initiatives are advancing, with inventories and open‑data plans underway, GeoHub live, 2024 ortho imagery collection completed, and an interagency pilot MOU launching",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6100563,"State Interoperability Executive Council outlines SCIP priorities, NG911 progress and FirstNet adoption",2830,334285,3164385,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2813154-e90ae3295cf505abb24a587597c5eb20&start=334&end=3164","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2813154-e90ae3295cf505abb24a587597c5eb20/thumbnail_334285.jpg","/articles/6100563/Oregon/State-Interoperability-Executive-Council-outlines-SCIP-priorities-NG911-progress-and-FirstNet-adoption","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100563-99c4bb19b635c1e09990525f876824e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770820350&Signature=KTGswYRG3Al~autPOVkP3QxlTcuu8sNhGck83X6Ip-rzVPezDhuNNGCEW7gHdWZr22u6mvMUpt1fZsGit~JNgXt7-AFgCmaPQby404ujlmCLtOK9WVvAu~bX0wJM4~GiwenJwCpTOLgIiAVisAnrmqrMAsvtsNBCV2QEGIi0OIlrn5KjRe8yOb-52wfQKAtMuSTA5EKjdUtpXRNhAtJda~c5ttwc3gQvR7WHDq-boCPZmQk2QpYmYfdrvM7bBQFIRCiDZyrz59CeJYoG75EMRsjNa5mG~LnTpSq5TzeugdK1e5y3V1vA1cETsXh1loVmmSHHWljoQjSH6sZjP~ErCQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioner Tony DeBoehn, chair of the State Interoperability Executive Council, and William Chapman, Oregon’s statewide interoperability coordinator (SWIC), told the Joint Committee on Information Management and Technology on March 28 that Oregon is continuing work to make emergency communications “seamless, interoperable and resilient.”

Chapman said the state’s SCIP (Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan) contains seven strategic goals and more than 80 tactical objectives that guide priorities for technology, governance, training and grant investments. He told the committee Oregon uses the SCIP to vet federal grant proposals and to provide statewide grant guidance and investment priorities for emergency communications projects.

The committee heard updates on Next Generation 911. Chapman said the Federal Communications Commission recently finalized rules that define NG911 and ESInet systems and described Oregon objectives to deploy a next‑generation ready ESInet to primary 9‑1‑1 centers and state command centers. He said the number of primary emergency communication centers in Oregon has changed to 41 (down from published counts) and that ESInet connectivity has been deployed to 38 of those centers. A statewide CAD‑to‑CAD interoperability study is also in progress.

Chapman explained the SWIC role in coordinating state, local and federal partners, and noted an interoperable markers assessment developed with CISA is under review. He described operational arrangements: the interoperability program is operationally deployed to the Oregon Department of Emergency Management under an interagency agreement while Enterprise Information Services (EIS) continues to provide funding and administrative support.

The council is recommending statutory changes through Senate Bill 826 to reflect current operations and to move program responsibilities — including the contract for the state alerting system Orelert — from the Department of Administrative Services to OEM, and to establish a distinct statewide interoperability fund. Chapman said the governor’s recommended budget includes the same organizational change.

Committee members raised questions about consolidation of public safety answering points, procurement and equipment cost. Chapman and others noted that frontline multi‑band radios meeting national standards can cost several thousand dollars (discussion referenced figures in the mid‑thousands) and that grant guidance now prioritizes dual‑ or tri‑band radios and equipment that meet national security guidance; manufacturers including Harris and Motorola were named as U.S. producers.

The committee also heard usage and alerting statistics for Orelert: Chapman reported 36 counties, five tribal governments and 26 state agencies are enrolled and that the system has been used more than 11,000 times since going live in 2021, including heavy use during recent fire seasons. He described a planned transition of a statewide watch center function to OEM in 2026 and noted training, exercises and contingency planning remain priorities to preserve redundancy and resilience during large incidents.

Ben Gresky, Oregon’s state chief information security officer and the state’s FirstNet single point of contact, briefed the committee on FirstNet adoption. Gresky said FirstNet (the First Responder Network Authority) is a federal entity operating under a public‑private partnership and that Oregon has more than 47,000 FirstNet subscribers, roughly 160 communities participating and about 500 subscribing entities. He reported the state plan built in 2017 led to deployment of planned towers (46 towers were listed as built) and that FirstNet adoption includes mission‑critical push‑to‑talk capabilities and priority/preemption for first responders on the network.

Committee members and presenters discussed operational details, including the automatic priority behavior that can throttle or deprioritize civilian data when first‑responder demand requires capacity on a tower. Presenters emphasized testing, redundancy and training as key to ensuring systems perform under major incidents.","State Interoperability Executive Council chair Tony DeBoehn and the statewide interoperability coordinator updated the legislature on Oregon’s Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan, Next Generation 911 deployment, grant priorities and FirstNet rollout, and described a statutory proposal to formalize current program arrangements.","actionData","errors"]
