Bill > HB2270

This bill makes several changes to statutes concerning information technology services in Kansas, primarily by updating the roles and responsibilities of the Chief Information Technology Officer and the Chief Information Security Officer. Key provisions include authorizing the Chief Information Security Officer to receive audit reports, expanding the services provided by the office of information technology services to include cloud services, and clarifying that cloud computing services within the executive branch must be performed or contracted through the office of information technology services, with software as a service applications needing to be registered and inventoried. The bill also grants the Chief Information Technology Officer more authority over telecommunications services and equipment procurement, and updates the definition of telecommunications services to exclude data processing services. Additionally, it outlines new strategic and operational responsibilities for the executive chief information technology officer, such as developing enterprise-wide IT strategies, establishing operational standards, and analyzing IT expenditures for efficiencies. Finally, the bill repeals certain existing sections of law related to these matters.
