THIRTY-SECOND LEGISLATURE, 2024

H.D. 1

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE INFORMATION.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that in order to succeed in the legislated responsibilities of the State and requirements of federal law regarding protection of critical infrastructure under chapter 54, Hawaii Revised Statutes, it is necessary to establish protections for critical infrastructure information maintained by county boards of water supply.  The legislature further finds that protection of critical infrastructure information does not require confidentiality for information created and made confidential by the county boards of water supply for other purposes and that have historically been of public record, including but not limited to the water service consumption data made public by section 92F-12, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

     The purpose of this Act is to establish and specify protections for information that is required by federal law to be received or maintained by a county board of water supply for use regarding the security of critical infrastructure and protected systems, analysis, warning, interdependency study, recovery, reconstitution, or other informational purposes.  This Act is not intended to alter the public's existing right to access information that is created for a purpose other than use in a federal or state critical infrastructure security and resilience program, even when the information is also used in and maintained by the critical infrastructure security and resilience program.

     SECTION 2.  Chapter 54, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to part I to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

     "§54-     Confidentiality of critical infrastructure information.  (a)  Notwithstanding section 92F-11 and any other law to the contrary, critical infrastructure information required by federal or state law to be collected or maintained by a board in connection with a federal or state critical infrastructure security and resilience program shall be confidential and shall not be available to the public.

     (b)  Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to alter existing rights to access government records subject to chapter 92F created or maintained by a board or other agency for a purpose other than a federal or state critical infrastructure security and resilience program.

     (c)  For the purposes of this section, "critical infrastructure information" means information that is not customarily in the public domain and is related to the security of critical infrastructure or protected systems, including documents, records, or other information concerning:

     (1)  Actual, potential, or threatened interference with, attack on, compromise of, or incapacitation of critical infrastructure or protected systems by either physical or computer-based attack or other similar conduct, including the misuse of or unauthorized access to all types of communications and data transmission systems, that violates federal, state, local, or tribal law, harms interstate commerce of the United States, or threatens public health or safety;

     (2)  The ability of any critical infrastructure or protected system to resist the interference, attack, compromise, or incapacitation described under paragraph (1), including any planned or past assessment, projection, or estimate of the vulnerability of critical infrastructure or a protected system, including security testing, risk evaluation thereto, risk-management planning, or risk audit; or

     (3)  Any planned or past operational problem or solution regarding critical infrastructure or protected systems, including repair, recovery, reconstruction, insurance, or continuity, to the extent it is related to the interference, attack, compromise, or incapacitation described under paragraph (1)."

     SECTION 3.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 3000.
