Explanation
(This amendment affects language changes requiring the Information Technologies Investment Board to find ways to reduce information technology costs in fiscal year 2010, whether through negotiations with Northrop Grumman, working with agencies, or internal changes within the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA). Currently, there is gap between information technology funding and the rates VITA has set to satisfy the Northrop Grumman infrastructure contract.)
