H.D. 1

Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2025

State of Hawaii

Madame:

Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 1132 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make critical infrastructure information received or maintained by the Office of Homeland Security confidential, except in certain circumstances.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Office of Information Practices. Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from one individual.

Your Committee finds that defining and clarifying the confidentiality protections afforded to critical infrastructure information will better enable the Office of Homeland Security to ensure the security and resiliency of the State.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

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. 1132, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1132, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Public Safety.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
