A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO THE FIRST RESPONDERS TECHNOLOGY CAMPUS AND CYBERSECURITY DATA CENTER.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that critical infrastructure for state and county first responders and data systems needs to be relocated. Many existing facilities are outdated and within the inundation zone, and agencies have outgrown their current footprint. Some agencies lack permanent headquarters, training facilities, and storage space and require the use of leased facilities. Instead, the moneys paid for leases should be invested in permanent assets that are owned and controlled by the State.

The legislature further finds that lands purchased by the Hawaii technology development corporation are dedicated for the first responders technology campus and cybersecurity data center. The first responders technology campus is a major project involving federal, state, and county first responders and the office of enterprise technology services to co-locate headquarters and training facilities in central Oahu. Being outside the inundation zone, this new facility would provide critical partnerships for the State's first responders as they coordinate joint trainings and responses. The site is also near the only airfield outside the inundation zone, as Hickam Air Force Base, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, and Kalaeloa Airport are near the shorelines. Moving and co-locating critical infrastructure outside the inundation zone will provide a strategy for shoreline retreat and accommodation.

The legislature further finds that the Hawaii emergency management agency, Hawaii army national guard, department of land and natural resources, department of public safety, and department of law enforcement have committed to coordinate access to the first responders technology campus and cybersecurity data center, with federal agencies also expressing interest in the project.

The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds for the development of the first responders technology campus and cybersecurity data center on tax map key 9-5-002-057.

SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $           or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2023-2024 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2024-2025 for the development of the first responders technology campus and cybersecurity data center on tax map key 9-5-002-057.

The sums appropriated shall be expended by the Hawaii technology development corporation for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 3. The appropriations made by this Act shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal biennium for which the appropriations are made; provided that all moneys from the appropriations that are unencumbered as of June 30, 2025, shall lapse as of that date.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on June 30, 3000.
