Section 1-31-2 - Applicability

(a) These rules and regulations shall apply to all state agencies as defined in K.S.A. 1976 Supp. 75-3701. The exclusion specified in K.S.A. 1976 Supp. 75-4705 for board of regents institutions relates only to central processing of data by computer. Provisions of these rules and regulations pertaining to the approval of automatic data processing machinery, lease, purchase or contracts specified in K.S.A. 1976 Supp. 75-4706, shall apply to such institutions.

(b) The provisions of K.S.A. 1976 Supp. 75-4705(b), as they apply to approval for control, possession, and operation of adjunct central processing units shall be implemented by memorandums of agreement between the department, division, or agency seeking approval and the director of the division of computer services. Such memorandums of agreement shall be explicit as to the term of the agreement and the conditions under which the director may terminate the agreement.

(c) The statement "no other division, department, or agency of the state shall perform central processing computer functions . . ." as it appears in K.S.A. 1976 Supp. 75-4705(a) shall apply equally to performance by contractual arrangement with any supplier of data processing or data entry services, or lease, purchase or contract for any data processing programs or programming systems, or any data processing systems design or computer programming services. In the interests of economy and efficiency, the director, division of computer services may approve written requests submitted by departments, divisions and agencies of the state for the acquisition of such data processing services, programs or systems. Board of regents institutions are excluded from this requirement.

(d) The director of computer services may elect to call upon other agencies of the state, including board of regents institutions, to provide assistance in the central processing of data by computer. Such action may become necessary to (1) alleviate a shortage of data processing capability in the division of computer services, (2) make better use of state computer resources which may have reserve capacity, or (3) provide alternate capability in the event of disaster. When a request for assistance is made on behalf of an agency normally serviced by DCS, the director will assume responsibility for all negotiations, scheduling and billing for services.
