RE: H.B. No. 2634
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Higher Education & Technology, to which was referred H.B. No. 2634 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Servpac and one individual.
Your Committee finds that disruptions to information technology infrastructure, whether by a power outage, cooling system malfunction, or network disruption, cause substantial turmoil for residents and businesses. Your Committee further finds that Act 179, Session Laws of Hawaii 2022, established the Technology Services Consolidation Working Group to develop a plan for the phased consolidation of information technology services and staff within executive branch agencies in a five-year timespan. This measure tasks the Technology Services Consolidation Working Group with the relocation of state data centers and ensuring that those state data centers are resilient.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education & Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2634, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2634, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Labor & Government Operations.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education & Technology,
