AB 2103

Existing law establishes the Office of Data and Innovation within the Government Operations Agency with a mission to deliver better government services to the people of California through technology and service innovation, data, and design. This bill would establish the Engaged California Program within the office. The bill would require the office to design, establish, and maintain a platform for ongoing dialogue between Californians and state government and to establish best practices for its use. Upon appropriation of sufficient funding, the bill would require the office to select and activate topics for deliberation on the platform and would require state agencies identified by the office to coordinate outreach, among other things. The bill would authorize the office to receive supplemental funding from partner organizations. The bill would continuously appropriate any funding received for the program to the office for purposes of the program.
