10  resource.

11         (2)  The state makes significant investments in

12  information technology resources in order to manage

13  information and to provide services to its citizens.

14         (3)  An office must be created to provide support and

15  guidance to enhance the state's use and management of

16  information technology resources and to design, procure, and

17  deploy, on behalf of the state, information technology

18  resources.

19         (4)  The cost-effective deployment of information

20  technology and information resources by state agencies can

21  best be managed by a Chief Information Officer.

22         (5)  The head of each state agency, in consultation

  8  attention and managerial accountability by state agencies and

  9  the state as a whole.

10         (7)  The agency head, in consultation with the State

11  Technology Office, has primary responsibility for the agency's

12  information technology resources and for their use in

13  accomplishing the agency's mission.  However, each agency

14  shall also use its information technology resources in the
