STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1174-22

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2022

RE: S.B. No. 3038

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Higher Education & Technology, to which was referred S.B. No. 3038 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INFORMATION PRIVACY AND SECURITY COUNCIL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to allow each member of the Information Privacy and Security Council to designate a designee to act on the member's behalf in order to ensure quorum at meetings.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Office of Enterprise Technology Services.

Your Committee finds that due to competing work priorities, the members of the Information Privacy and Security Council are often unable to attend meetings, resulting in the delay of important discussions and decision-making by the Council due to a lack of quorum. Your Committee further finds that for the sake of efficiency and flexibility, it is in the best interest of the public to allow each member of the Information Privacy and Security Council to appoint a designee to act on the member's behalf to ensure quorum.

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 S.B. No. 3038 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education & Technology,
