RE:    S.B. No. 961

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Technology and the Arts and Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 961 entitled:

 

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

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to:

 

     (1)  Require departments and agencies to share information to improve government operations unless otherwise prohibited by law;

 

     (2)  Require the Chief Information Officer to oversee the sharing of the information; and

 

     (3)  Appropriate funds for departments and agencies to share information to improve government operations.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Office of Information Management and Technology.

 

     Your Committees find that information created and maintained by the State is public property for the benefit of Hawaii's residents.  This measure creates an environment to increase the sharing of information among departments and agencies, which will benefit the State and its residents by improving decision-making, supporting business process improvement, reducing redundancy, minimizing errors, and creating a more responsive service to the needs of citizens.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Technology and the Arts and Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 961 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Technology and the Arts and Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing,
