Senate Bill Aims $100M Annual Grants to State, Local Governments for IT Fixes New legislation introduced in the Senate today would authorize $100 million of Federal spending per year, for a period of seven years, to help state and local governments take quick action on fixing pressing IT problems. The State and Local Digital Services Act sponsored by Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., envisions a state and local government assistance model used at the Federal level by the General Services Administration’s 18F organization, and the Office of Management and Budget’s U.S. Digital Service, to solve IT problems quickly.
