Department may make use of, or support or provide any | ||

priority. For this purpose the Department shall have the power | ||

retention, installation, and maintenance of communications | ||
equipment or services used by State agencies in the | ||
interest of efficiency and economy. | ||
(2) Review existing standards and, where appropriate, | ||
propose to establish new or modified standards for State | ||
agencies which shall include a minimum of one | ||
telecommunication device for the deaf installed and | ||
operational within each State agency, to provide public | ||
access to agency information for those persons who are | ||
hearing or speech impaired. The Department shall consult | ||
the Department of Human Services to develop standards and | ||
implementation for this equipment. | ||
(3) Establish charges for information technology for | ||
State agencies and, when requested, for units of federal | ||
or local government and public and not-for-profit | ||
institutions of primary, secondary, or higher education. | ||
Entities charged for these services shall pay the | ||
Department. | ||
(4) Instruct all State agencies to report their usage | ||
of communication services regularly to the Department in | ||
the manner the Department may prescribe. |
(5) Analyze the present and future aims and needs of | ||
all State agencies in the area of communications services | ||
and plan to serve those aims and needs in the most | ||
effective and efficient manner. | ||
(6) Provide telecommunications and other | ||
communications services. | ||
(7) Establish the administrative organization within | ||
the Department that is required to accomplish the purpose | ||
