The ability to move information quickly and accurately through electronic means is critical to the success of education, business, agriculture, health care, government, libraries, communities, and other areas of interest in a global society. A statewide vision and strategy is needed to ensure coordinated development of the telecommunications infrastructure necessary for Nebraska to keep pace worldwide and collaboration among entities within the state and with other states.Source   Laws 1998, LB 924, § 1;   R.S.1943, (1999), § 86-1501;  Laws 2002, LB 1105, § 282.

Advances in information technology have the potential to improve government efficiency, broaden educational opportunities, and enhance services to Nebraska communities and citizens. To assure the most cost-effective use of state appropriations:(a) Responsibility should be assigned for developing a statewide vision and strategic plan to guide investments in information technology;(b) Organizational and technical support for technology budget decisions should be improved and integrated;(c) A clearinghouse should be formed for technical support and best practices information; and(d) Responsibility should be assigned to an office within state government for improving the planning, budgeting, and management of state government's information resources.(2) It is the intent of the State of Nebraska to support the development of a unified statewide telecommunications infrastructure. The statewide telecommunications infrastructure will be scalable, reliable, and efficient. It is further the intent of the Legislature that the provisions of sections 86-512 to 86-524 serve to coordinate the state's investments in information technology in an efficient and expeditious manner. The provisions are not intended to impede the rapid deployment of appropriate technology or establish cumbersome regulations or bureaucracy.Source   Laws 1998, LB 924, § 2;   R.S.1943, (1999), § 86-1502;  Laws 2002, LB 1105, § 283.

2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 86 - Telecommunications and Technology|86-514 - University of Nebraska; Legislature; exemptions.

86-514.  University of Nebraska; Legislature; exemptions.(1) The Legislature finds that the University of Nebraska, as the state's only public university, has unique needs and requirements in the area of information technology relating to the university's academic research mission. Accordingly, the Legislature intends that sections 86-512 to 86-524 shall not limit the authority of the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to make decisions about policies, purchases, and uses of information technology related to its academic research mission. For purposes of this section, academic research mission means those specific activities or programs of the university which are undertaken as a part of sponsored or grant-supported activities, organized research projects, or other similar activities intended to produce one or more research outcomes and conducted by employees of the university or other entities, including, but not limited to, research divisions, bureaus, institutes, and experimental stations. Academic research mission does not include the administrative activities of the university, instruction of students, or services provided by the university to communities when not conducted in the context of research outcomes.(2) The Legislature finds that, as a separate branch of government, the Legislature must perform its functions independently of other branches. Accordingly, the Legislature shall not be limited by the provisions and requirements of sections 86-512 to 86-524. However the Legislature reserves the right to use the resources established by such sections.Source   Laws 1998, LB 924, § 3;   R.S.1943, (1999), § 86-1503;  Laws 2002, LB 1105, § 284.
