STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3319

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    H.B. No. 1280

       H.D. 2

       S.D. 1

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2014

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committees on Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing, Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, Technology and the Arts, and Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1280, H.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to:

     (1)  Require the Department of Public Safety to form a working group to define and delineate the duties and responsibilities of process servers under its jurisdiction, create a process of registration, examine licensing requirements and jurisdictional concerns of private process servers, and address other relevant issues; and

     (2)  Authorize the Director of Public Safety to maintain a list of independent process servers.

     Your Committees received no testimony on this measure.

     Prior to the hearing on this measure, your Committees posted and made available for public review a proposed S.D. 1, which requires and appropriates funds for the Board of Directors of the High Technology Development Corporation to create a first responders technology campus and cyber security command center.

     Your Committees received testimony in support of the proposed S.D. 1 from the Department of Defense, Department of Public Safety, Department of Accounting and General Services, and one individual.  Your Committees received comments on the proposed S.D. 1 from the High Technology Development Corporation.

     Your Committees find that the State requires a plan to relocate public safety services located within and nearby inundation zones to a centralized non-inundation zone area that will provide direct access to highways and be in convenient proximity to hospital and military services and assistance.  In the event of a major disaster, critical systems could be unavailable for months, negatively impacting the lives of many tens of thousands of citizens and costing the State tens of millions of dollars in unplanned system recovery and restart costs.

     Your Committees further find that the High Technology Development Corporation, in collaboration with the Department of Accounting and General Services and Chief Information Officer, has the ability to oversee the design, construction, and operation of a data center that can house the State's centralized computing resources along with key staff that support and maintain these resources.

     Your Committees have amended this measure by replacing its contents with the contents of the proposed S.D. 1 and inserting an effective date of July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing, Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, Technology and the Arts, and Ways and Means that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1280, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1280, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing, Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, Technology and the Arts, and Ways and Means,
