(b) The chief information officer may delegate a function of the division as provided in Subsection (1)(a) if in the judgment of the director of the executive branch agency and the chief information officer:

(i) the executive branch agency or institution of higher education has requested that the function be delegated;

(ii) the executive branch agency or institution of higher education has the necessary resources and skills to perform or control the function to be delegated; and

(iii) the function to be delegated is a unique or mission-critical function of the agency or institution of higher education.

(2) The chief information officer may delegate a function of the division only when the delegation results in net cost savings or improved service delivery to the state as a whole or to the unique mission critical function of the executive branch agency.

(3) The delegation of a function under this section shall:

(a) be in writing;

(b) contain all of the following:

(i) a precise definition of each function to be delegated;

(ii) a clear description of the standards to be met in performing each function delegated;

(iii) a provision for periodic administrative audits by the division;

(iv) a date on which the agreement shall terminate if the agreement has not been previously terminated or renewed; and

(c) include a cost-benefit analysis justifying the delegation.

(4) An agreement to delegate functions to an executive branch agency or an institution of higher education may be terminated by the division if the results of an administrative audit conducted by the division reveals a lack of compliance with the terms of the agreement by the executive branch agency or institution of higher education.
