Effective July 1, 2013, the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 2012 creates the Government Operations Agency and, as part of the plan, moves the California Technology Agency (previously budgeted within Legislative, Judicial, and Executive under Organization Code 0502) to this new Agency (Government Operations).

The Department of Technology (Department) supports state programs and departments in the delivery of state services and information to constituents and businesses through agile, cost-effective, innovative, reliable and secure technology. The Department retains statewide authority to centralize and unify information technology projects and data center services to enhance the ability to develop, launch, manage and monitor large informational-technology projects.
