A member also announced a conference committee on a related House bill.

At the meeting, a committee member said they would call a conference committee later that afternoon on a measure identified in the transcript as \"House, Senate Sub for House Bill 2,313.\" The member said the conference would address language making JCIT part of report-out authority for a prior cybersecurity bill. The member identified themselves as chair of legislative modernization on the House side and said they would pursue those changes in conference.

Senator Tyson asked whether the centralized-IT law passed last year includes a sunset provision and whether action is needed to exempt some agencies. Committee staff responded that Senate Bill 291 \"does sunset on July 1, 2026,\" and that the House passed House Bill 2,271 to remove the sunset provisions from Senate Bill 291. Members said agencies have raised concerns about impacts on security and that the committee should use conference discussions to address agency questions. Representative Penn noted the committee had conducted private closed briefings with Legislative Post Audit and others and said the bill prepared in committee had incorporated amendments and followed the committee process.

Members did not vote on the statutory language during this meeting; several members urged agency representatives to bring specific technical or operational concerns to the conference or committee process so the language can be refined. The discussion included references to past incidents that affected judicial IT systems and a request that agencies make concerns known in committee rather than only to individual legislators.

The committee agreed to pursue conference discussions and to continue coordinating with staff and affected agencies to clarify implementation and exemptions before any sunset takes effect.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Joint Committee on Information Technology 03/26/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Committee members discussed the sunset provision in Senate Bill 291 and referenced House legislation intended to remove the sunset; a member announced a conference committee on a related bill and staff confirmed the SB 291 sunset date.","taxTitle","Senate, Committees, Legislative, Kansas","taxId",15103,"location","Kansas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6592756,"Joint IT committee elects chair, vice chair and ranking minority member; schedules meeting planning",155,1600,157220,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2778505-ba1ea868a3b77fbd1a753fc014bff056&start=1&end=157","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2778505-ba1ea868a3b77fbd1a753fc014bff056/thumbnail_1600.jpg","/articles/6592756/Kansas/Joint-IT-committee-elects-chair-vice-chair-and-ranking-minority-member-schedules-meeting-planning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6592756-c63f728d84c65940a9f6e22bae0fe4a4/orig.mp4?Expires=1773647624&Signature=VdPF97S8maefmWfCELpFkKdzwHtpanG2ViB~3HVEvBgcrtdwpj33E8zFS5bXVe74w3yfXX8S0k7Yt3L0uumQ8DJUoR~~SHmZWjyPiCe3Qp1CydgrkRSooTwfT-4U~T0GKk8TOTZ~d9gN8WNxY3ELr2jCBglmXMPEUL9sVv0Jqzl0ZS3eZnCksGo4TxLdqWeg1YevWPAm-e9nv~6WltQYs-SGLVT055y~T0DefL5nQZXXI2T0wE~1PENeIZGdPXRzUwFzr7lTEegPkM92S~mvVdpGQ-TTiejRA3Nr1UH6IDOuwZroOz5HEC-YySZ111EFIOs2x3t7P-Ioc7~ZTCA5dg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Joint Committee on Information Technology elected Representative Hoffman as committee chair, Senator Mike Peterson as vice chair and Representative Kirk Haskins as the committee's ranking minority member during a meeting where members also discussed scheduling and deadlines.

Committee members opened nominations for chair and Representative Turner nominated Representative Hoffman for the chair position. Senator Tyson seconded the nomination; members closed nominations and approved the selection by voice vote. Representative Penn nominated Senator Mike Peterson for vice chair, with Representative Curtis seconding; that nomination also passed by voice vote. Representative Curtis nominated Representative Kirk Haskins as the ranking minority member; Senator Ware seconded and the nomination was approved by voice vote. The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally, and outcomes were recorded as voice votes.

The committee discussed how many days to request for upcoming hearings. The committee chair recommended requesting six days for hearings; members observed the committee might be allotted four or five days depending on competing items. Senator Petersen asked members to submit ideas for the docket by about May 14 so staff could assemble a meeting promptly. Members discussed the possibility of meeting in April or scheduling during the veto period if time allows.

Staff advised members that notices of proposed IT demand originate from the EBIT service desk at ks.gov and said those notices will trigger meeting calls if two members request one. Committee staff identified James and Natalie (reviser) as points of contact for submitting agenda ideas.

The meeting concluded after the leadership votes and scheduling discussion.","Members of the Joint Committee on Information Technology elected committee leaders by voice vote and discussed requesting multiple days for upcoming hearings and deadlines for agenda items.","actionData","errors"]
