Information Technology Share-in-Savings Program Improvement Act of 2000 - Amends the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 to authorize the heads of executive agencies to carry out a total of five projects under the Share-in-Savings Pilot Program.Provides for such agencies to test the feasibility of encouraging the use of the share-in savings contracting approach to the acquisition of information technology solutions for improving mission-related or administrative processes of the Federal Government by allowing the head of an agency conducting such a project to retain up to a certain amount of the savings that are realized as a result of the project and to use that amount to acquire additional information technology.Repeals the requirement for the selection of projects by the Administrator of Federal Procurement Policy in consultation with the Administrator for the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.Authorizes the Administrator to provide general authority on the use of such a contracting approach if: (1) after reviewing the experience under such projects, that approach offers the Government an opportunity to improve its use of information and technology and to reduce costs; and (2) the Administrator issues guidance for the exercise of that authority.
