Modernizing Government Technology Reform Act

This bill changes the rules for the Technology Modernization Fund, a federal fund that pays for agency computer and software upgrades. It limits fund transfers to projects that modernize, retire, or replace old systems, improve cybersecurity and privacy, or improve agency services, and requires agencies to repay the Fund at levels that keep it operating until it ends after December 31, 2032. Money would generally be released in stages tied to measured project milestones, and funding could be suspended or ended if an agency gave fraudulent or misleading statements in its application. Agency Chief Information Officers would have to list their high-risk legacy systems, and the Federal Chief Information Officer would compile a list of the 10 riskiest systems to be reported to Congress.
