RE:     S.B. No. 219

        S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 219 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to require the Chief Information Officer, in conjunction with the Information Technology Steering Committee, to review, refresh, and submit the state information technology strategic plan every four years.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Education and Transform Hawaii Government.

 

     Your Committee finds that ever-evolving technology necessitates periodic updates to the state information technology strategic plan to ensure that the State is fully maximizing available modern resources.  Your Committee further finds that this measure expands the duties of the Chief Information Officer to require that the plan be periodically reviewed and updated.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 219, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 219, S.D. 1.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
