COM. REP. NO. 140
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2023
RE: H.B. No. 1493
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 1493 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE FIRST RESPONDERS TECHNOLOGY CAMPUS AND CYBERSECURITY DATA CENTER,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that existing facilities are vulnerable to natural disasters and no longer meet the needs of our first responders. The ability to provide consistent uniform training for first responders will ensure that every county is staffed with well-trained personnel. This measure proposes to enhance emergency preparedness and resiliency by co-locating emergency response agencies for coordinated event, emergency, or disaster response efforts.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the appropriation to an unspecified amount;
(2) Changing the effective date to June 30, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
Your Committee respectfully requests your Committee on Finance,
should it deliberate on this measure, to consider an
appropriation amount of $50,000,000.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1493, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1493, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Higher Education & Technology.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
