STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2440

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2698

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Development and Technology, to which was referred S.B. No. 2698 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE INFORMATION PRIVACY AND SECURITY COUNCIL,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the Comptroller to designate a replacement to serve as chair of the Information Privacy and Security Council.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Accounting and General Services, University of Hawaii System, Office of Information Management and Technology, and Information Privacy and Security Council.

 

     Your Committee finds that when the Information Privacy and Security Council was first established, the State did not yet have a full-time Chief Information Officer to provide the overall direction and vision for information technology.  As information security and privacy currently fall under the purview of the Chief Information Officer and are being addressed in the information technology strategic plan that is currently under development, naming the Chief Information Officer as chair of the Information Privacy and Security Council aligns the Council's responsibilities with the State's strategic vision.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Replacing the Comptroller with the Chief Information Officer to serve as chair of the Information Privacy and Security Council; and

 

     (2)  Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development and Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2698, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2698, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development and Technology,
