STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2776

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 3038

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, 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 and intent of this measure is to allow for each member of the Information Privacy and Security Council to designate a person from the member's agency to act on the member's behalf in order to ensure quorum.

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

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 Commerce and Consumer Protection 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 Commerce and Consumer Protection,
