STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1893-22

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 Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, 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 person from that member's agency to attend meetings and 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 it is often difficult for the Information Privacy and Security Council to establish quorum due to the competing work priorities and obligations of its members. Your Committee believes that it is in the best interest of the public to allow each member of the Council to appoint a designee to attend meetings and act on the member's behalf, including for voting purposes, when the member is unable to attend a meeting.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs 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 Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
