RE:    S.B. No. 1003

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Technology and the Arts, to which was referred S.B. No. 1003 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the Chief Information Officer to conduct or cause to be conducted security audits, which may include reviews of physical security practices, of all executive government agencies regarding the protection of government databases and data communications and to direct remedial actions as necessary.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Office of Information Management and Technology, Department of Human Resources Development, Department of Accounting and General Services, Department of Transportation, and Referentia Systems.

 

     Your Committee finds that protecting Hawaii's information and data is a top concern in today's cyber world.  The Office of Information Management and Technology has developed a comprehensive business and information technology/information resource management transformation plan and has identified security and privacy as one of the plan's top ten initiatives.  The Office plans to provide a singular vision for information assurance and data protection, unify cyber security and information practices statewide, and implement best practices.  Your Committee finds that the authority of the Chief Information Officer should be expanded to ensure the security of state government information and the data communications infrastructure from unauthorized uses, intrusions, or other security threats.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Technology and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1003, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1003, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Technology and the Arts,
