Removing the expiration on certain cybersecurity requirements, modifying the duties of chief information security officers and cybersecurity programs, requiring assessment of executive branch agency compliance with cybersecurity requirements, providing for consideration of such compliance by the legislature during the budget process and creating the judicial branch technology oversight council.

HB 2574 removes expiration dates from existing cybersecurity requirements for Kansas state government, making them permanent. It requires chief information security officers in all government branches to annually assess agency compliance with cybersecurity standards, report findings to the legislature, and link compliance to budget decisions. The bill creates a new judicial branch technology oversight council to set IT standards, approve plans, and oversee cybersecurity programs for courts. These changes apply directly to all executive branch agencies, the judiciary, and their IT security staff, focusing on mandatory annual reviews and alignment with national cybersecurity frameworks.
