TL;DR

The Committee on Technology introduced three new laws aimed at making city government more transparent and efficient: speeding up permit approvals with real-time tracking, evaluating the city's cloud computing needs, and centralizing how the city processes public records requests. These measures are designed to reduce bureaucratic delays and give residents better access to information about government operations.
