Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 961

       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 Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 961 entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to promote and provide for the secure sharing of information among state departments and agencies.

 

     The Office of Information Management and Technology submitted written comments in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that the State has thirty-five lines of business and two hundred twenty business functions.  Creating an environment to securely share information will increase efficiency, facilitate federal reporting, and support the State's Open Gov and Open Data Initiative.    

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

(1)  Clarifying that each department that collects information shall be the authoritative source and custodian of that information for legal proceedings;

 

(2)  Clarifying that this measure shall not reduce a department's responsibility for protecting information and data as required by law;

 

(3)  Renumbering a misnumbered paragraph; and

 

(4)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion on the measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 961, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 961, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
