Our Future Commission #digitales Bayern 5.0 sets a clear signal for a comprehensive digital transformation in local government! Specifically, this means: Regardless of whether it is about a building permit, a car approval or a residence registration-from the first application to the final decision, the process should be digitally fracture-free, both for citizens and on the administrative side, And as the greatest and the most important measure, we can do a central IT service provider for the Bavarian municipalities. IT foundation for sustainable digitization in the Free State and establish fully digital processes. The report of the future commission is a milestone for further digitization of municipal administrations. We agree that a stronger standardization of the diverse municipal systems is the right and necessary path through standardization and centralization. Because of the diversity of the 2056 cities and municipalities, the 71 counties with the state district offices and the 7 districts, this is a complex process that is to be accelerated by creating a uniform central IT service provider. This standardization of the systems is a major challenge for the municipalities. Uniform requirements must be implemented for small communities as well as for the big cities. In the municipalities, a variety of different specialist procedures from different providers are used, which result in dependencies and requirements for interfaces among themselves and online applications. The central service provider should accompany the municipalities in these complex processes. Unification and standardization is necessary to reduce complexity. A central implementation helps, for example, to introduce AI or to assess data protection issues. The municipalities are constantly improving the services for citizens and companies. In the medium term, they rely on the digital dividend: If the administration becomes easier and faster, municipalities can continue to perform their tasks of general interest and design. The further digitization of the administration makes an indispensable contribution, said the chairman of the Bavarian City Day, Markus Pannermayr, also on behalf of the four local top associations in Bavaria.
Innovative technologies, such as the use of AI, have proven enormous performance in our pilot projects and will help us in the future to make administrative processes easier, faster and more efficiently. For example, by AI-based completeness and plausibility tests, incorrect or missing information can be recognized in applications at an early stage and thereby avoiding questions. A year of intensive cooperation is now available!
The State Communals Future Commission #digitales Bayern 5.0 was deployed in spring 2024 to make the digitization of the Bavarian municipalities decisively advance. The leadership lies with the State Ministry of Finance and for Home. Members are also the State Chancellery, the State Ministry of the Interior, for Sports and Integration, the State Ministry of Housing, Building and Transport, the State Ministry of Digital and the four Bavarian local top associations, namely the Bavarian Community Day, City Council, District Council and District Day.
The future commission was given the highest political priority: seven meetings with the presidents of the local top associations and the political leaders of the departments involved took place last year. In addition, experts from all positions involved worked in numerousSessions together. In addition, around 40 workshops in specialist groups with experts from municipal and state practice took place at prioritized administrative services.
When visiting the future commission on site in municipalities, district offices and cities, it became clear that a variety of individual solutions for digitization have arisen for the same tasks in the context of municipal self -government. In view of the shortage of skilled workers, adding tasks, tense households and increasing cyber threats, this is a great challenge, especially for smaller municipalities, the measures of the future commission provide targeted support in the standardization and centralization of municipal IT infrastructure and also enable increased state-communal cooperation in IT security. Because all Bavarian municipalities connected to the Bavarian network of authorities benefit, for example, from the robust central protective shield of the State Office for Security in Information Technology.
The specific measures of the future commission are diverse: Among other things, uniform IT procedures are introduced to Bavaria in order to save people when moving. The course is also set for greater use of digital identity proof (oath) in Bavaria so that the online ID card will be more important in the future. In addition, the Free State provides an e-learning course to create AI competence. Thanks to him, not every authority has to deal extensively with how the requirements from the EU regulation (AI Act) of the EU can be met. The centrally made available AI guidelines also answer legal and practical questions and thus promote responsible and efficient AI use.
