STAND. COM. REP. NO.  417

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2009

 

RE:   H.B. No. 1012

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1012 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GOVERNMENT SHARED SERVICES TECHNOLOGY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to allow state agencies to reduce procurement costs by establishing a Shared Services Technology Special Fund to coordinate the acquisition of information technology systems, hardware, software, and related services, to allow the state to benefit from the resulting economies of scale in purchasing, and decreased administrative paperwork and processing time.

 

     The Department of Education, Department of Transportation, and Department of Accounting and General Services supported this bill.

 

     Your Committee finds that this bill addresses various inefficiencies in the State's management of its information technology resources, and was developed by the Information Technology Governance Committee, which includes members from all Executive Branch Cabinet departments.  This bill allows these departments to coordinate their information technology strategies.


 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1012 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs,
