RE: S.B. No. 721

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Science, Art and Technology, to which was referred S.B. No. 721 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR A UNIFIED DATABASE SYSTEM OF ALL STATE AGENCIES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make an appropriation for a unified database system for all state departments.

Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the Hawaii State Teachers Association and a private citizen.

Your Committee finds that a unified statewide database system containing the information of myriad state government agencies will enhance more efficient and effective interagency communication.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Science, Art and Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 721 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Science, Art and Technology,
