RE:   S.B. No. 2419

      S.D. 2

      H.D. 3

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 2419, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to protect personal information while providing reasonable access in certain circumstances by allowing the scanning of personal information contained in a state identification card or driver's license for limited purposes only.

 

     The Department of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu supported this measure.  The Office of Consumer Protection, American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii, and Verizon supported the intent of this measure.  The Retail Equation and Retail Merchants of Hawaii supported this measure with amendments.  The Consumer Data Industry Association and AT&T provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Replacing the term "certificate of identification" with "identity card";

 

     (2)  Removing the words "or store" from subsection (b) of the new section because it is duplicative of "retain";

 

     (3)  Replacing the word "provided" in subsection (b) of the new section with "permitted" to limit the exception;

 

     (4)  Removing the word "store" from subsection (c) of the new section because retention has been covered in subsection (b);

 

     (5)  Adding "except as permitted in subsection (a)(3) through (7)" to subsection (c) of the new section to improve internal consistency; and

 

     (6)  Making additional technical amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2419, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2419, S.D. 2, H.D. 3.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
