The legislative assembly finds and declares that there is a need to minimize the governmental paperwork burden for state and local government entities, individuals, businesses, and others; that the costs of collecting, maintaining, using, and disseminating information are constantly escalating due to the increasingly voluminous and complex nature of state statutes and regulations; that there is a need to coordinate, integrate, and to the extent practicable and appropriate, make uniform the information policies and practices in North Dakota; and that the governmental paperwork burden can best be eased by establishing a statewide forms management program within the information technology department.
