HI HB1293

Applies to government contracts for professional or technical services exceeding $100,000 that require computer-based work.

Requires contractors to use verification software that tracks keystroke and mouse activity, takes screenshots at least every three minutes, and monitors total hours worked on computers.

Government bodies and auditors receive real-time or retroactive access to verification data, automated cost status reports per task, and contractor biographical information.

Contractors must store software-collected data for seven years as accounting records and provide access to the government body or state auditor upon request.

Contractors bear all costs for the verification software and data access with no charges passed to the government body or auditors; software must be procured from an independent entity.
