A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that large organizations like the State of Hawaii could benefit by consolidating information technology resources to gain economies of scale and provide for a more efficient and secure use of technology and information management. The consolidation of technology sources will also help to ensure that the State remains in compliance with growing regulatory requirements for accessibility, information storage, data sharing, and security, especially in light of recent high‑profile attacks of government computer systems by hackers.
Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to establish a working group to develop a plan for the phased consolidation of information technology services and staff within executive branch agencies over a five-year timespan, excluding the department of education, Hawaii health systems corporation, and University of Hawaii.
SECTION 2. (a) There is established a technology services consolidation working group, which shall:
(1) Develop a plan for the phased consolidation of all state executive branch information technology services and staff within five years, except the department of education, Hawaii health systems corporation, and University of Hawaii, under the office of enterprise technology services. The plan shall include:
(A) An identification of the specific positions and functions to be transferred in each department;
(B) Proposed dates of transfer for each position and function;
(C) Proposed information technology facility, personnel, and operational infrastructure needs of the consolidated information technology agency, with projections on future integration needs as additional agencies' information technology staff and services are added;
(D) Recommendations to enable the office of enterprise technology services to provide expert support to the information technology activities of all state agencies to meet the needs of the agencies and the public; and
(E) Recommendations to ensure that agency services are not interrupted during the consolidation; and
(2) Make recommendations to attract high-quality information technology professionals to the State, including the use of internships and the feasibility of exempting certain positions from the requirements of chapters 76 and 89, Hawaii Revised Statutes.
(b) Members of the working group shall include:
(1) The chief information officer, who shall serve as chairperson;
(2) The head of each principal executive branch department, except the department of education and University of Hawaii, or that person's designee; and
(3) Any other person whom the chief information officer wishes to invite to serve on the working group.
(c) The working group shall be attached to the department of accounting and general services. The office of enterprise services shall provide administrative support to the working group.
(d) No later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session of 2023, the working group shall submit to the legislature a report of its findings and recommendations, including:
(1) The plan for a phased consolidation of state information technology services developed pursuant to subsection (a)(1), including a detailed five-year phase-in schedule;
(2) Recommendations to attract high-quality information technology professionals to the State; and
(3) Any proposed legislation.
(e) The working group shall be dissolved on June 30, 2023.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
