1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a state agency shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than June 30, 2015, make available on an Internet website maintained by the state agency an electronic version of each administrative form of the state agency which is used by any person to submit information to the state agency. The electronic version of each administrative form must be in a format that allows a person to complete or prepare the form electronically, download and save an electronic copy of the form to a computer and submit the form to the state agency securely via the Internet.

2. A state agency may, in the discretion of the state agency:

(a)Utilize, in the manner that the state agency determines is appropriate, any program, software or technology that the state agency determines is appropriate for the purposes of complying with the requirements of subsection 1;

(b)Collaborate with another state agency to carry out the provisions of subsection 1, including, without limitation, for the purpose of sharing technology; and

(c)Comply with the provisions of subsection 1 in phases or separate portions over time, if the state agency determines that such an approach would be useful in fully complying with the provisions of subsection 1 by June 30, 2015.

3. A state agency may apply to the Interim Finance Committee for a waiver of the requirements of subsection 1. The Committee shall grant such a waiver to a state agency if the Committee determines that extenuating circumstances exist or that the cost to comply with subsection 1 is unreasonable and would place an undue burden on the operations of the state agency.
