Government Technology Modernization: Safer and More Efficient Public Services

This Act aims to increase the effectiveness of the Technology Modernization Fund (TMF), leading to faster replacement of old, risky IT systems in federal agencies. For citizens, this means safer data, better privacy protection, and more reliable public services, as agencies are required to repay the funds to ensure the TMF remains operational. The law also mandates the identification and reporting of the 10 highest-risk IT systems to accelerate their modernization.
Key points
Increased stability of the Technology Modernization Fund (TMF): Agencies must repay funds to keep the TMF operational until 2031, ensuring continuous funding for modernization.
Better data and service protection: Funds are directed towards modernizing, replacing legacy IT systems, and enhancing cybersecurity and privacy within agencies.
Faster threat identification: Agencies must create a list of high-risk IT systems, and the Federal Chief Information Officer must annually identify the 10 systems posing the greatest security and operational risks.
Funding suspension for fraud: The Administrator can suspend or terminate funding for projects if an agency provided fraudulent or misleading statements in the application.
