This bill amends several sections of Kansas law related to information technology and cybersecurity services, specifically focusing on the roles and responsibilities of the executive chief information technology officer (CITO) and the office of information technology services. It authorizes the CITO to enter into agreements with various entities, including governmental units and hospitals, to extend the use of state information technology and cybersecurity services. Additionally, the bill allows the chief information security officer to receive audit reports and mandates that the office of information technology services provide data processing, application hosting, and cloud services to state agencies, political subdivisions, and hospitals.

The bill also includes amendments to existing statutes, such as K.S.A. 46-1135, which outlines the auditing process for information technology systems, and K.S.A. 75-4704, which details the provision of data processing services. It establishes that all fees and charges for telecommunications and information technology services will be deposited into the state treasury and credited to the appropriate funds. Furthermore, the bill repeals several existing sections of law that are replaced by the new provisions, streamlining the legal framework governing information technology services in Kansas.
