The Agency for State Technology, created only in 2014, will cease to exist come July 1, when it is absorbed by the state Department of Management Services.

Gov. Ron DeSantis also said the state will soon begin a statewide election cybersecurity review he ordered after two counties were successfully hacked in 2016.

Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered the state and all 67 counties to review their security after learning Russian hackers had successfully breached two counties' voter databases in 2016.

The governor said he cannot name the counties, citing an "unusual" nondisclosure agreement he signed with federal officials.

The five-year-old Agency for State Technology will be merged with a telecommunications office, marking the third time since 2005 that Florida has eliminated an IT bureau.

If Gov. Ron DeSantis' budget is approved, it would be the third time the state has dissolved its technology agency since 2005.

Appointed in 2017, the state's top IT official departed following the inauguration of Gov. Ron DeSantis.
