COM. REP. NO. 1059
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: S.B. No. 1100
S.D. 1
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred S.B. No. 1100, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INSURANCE DATA SECURITY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that there have been several major data breaches involving large insurers that exposed and compromised the sensitive personal information of millions of insurance consumers. As a result of these breaches, state insurance regulators made the reevaluation of the regulations around cybersecurity and consumer data protection a top priority. After almost two months of extensive deliberations, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners adopted the Insurance Data Security Model Law, which provides state insurance regulators with the tools they need to better protect sensitive consumer information.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Extending the implementation date for certain provisions as applied to risk retention groups chartered and licensed in this State by one additional year; 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 Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1100, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1100, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
