STAND. COM. REP. NO. 453
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 628
Honorable Donna Mercado Kim
President of the Senate
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2015
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Economic Development and Technology, to which was referred S.B. No. 628 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the Director of Finance to issue general obligation bonds for the plans, design, and construction of facilities for the state information technology and cyber security operations, Sheriff Division, Honolulu Fire Department, and Honolulu Police Department as part of the central Oahu First Responders Technology Campus and Cyber Security Command Center.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Public Safety.
Your Committees find that the First Responders Technology Campus and Cyber Security Command Center will centralize first responders and state information technology and cyber security facilities in a central location that is less prone to natural disasters to enable the sharing of resources and support services. Implementation of this measure will expedite the exchange of critical information among first responders and increase public safety.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Economic Development and Technology that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 628 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Economic Development and Technology,
