Okla. Stat. tit. 62, § 62-35.7: Exemptions and extensions

A. A state agency may apply to the Chief Information Officer

for an exemption from any provisions of the Information Technology

Consolidation and Coordination Act or for an extension of any

deadline specified in the Act, if it determines that compliance with

the provisions of the Act would:

1. Cause it to be in violation of federal law or regulations or

in violation of any provision of the Oklahoma Constitution or

statutes;

2. Result in a loss of federal funds to the state; or

3. Create an impediment to the performance of a unique agency

function that is not duplicated by another state agency and is

required by the Oklahoma Statutes or Constitution or by federal law.

B. Any state agency applying for an exemption or extension

pursuant to this section shall provide written documentation of the

circumstances to the Chief Information Officer. After reviewing the

documentation, the Chief Information Officer shall grant or deny the

application. If the state agency disputes the decision of the Chief

Information Officer, the Director of the Office of Management and

Enterprise Services shall make the final determination as to whether

the exemption or extension will be granted.
