(a) For each proposed major information resources project or major contract, a state agency must prepare:

(1) a business case providing the initial justification for the project or contract, including the anticipated return on investment in terms of cost savings and efficiency for the project or contract; and

(2) a statewide impact analysis of the project's or contract's effect on the state's common information resources infrastructure, including the possibility of reusing code or other resources.
