RE: H.R. No. 67
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committees on Education and Higher Education, to which was referred H.R. No. 67 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII TO ASSESS THE CRITERIA REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH AN EDUCATIONAL PIPELINE AND CURRICULUM TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY SKILLS IN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND CYBERSECURITY,"
beg leave to report as follows:
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the University of Hawaiʻi System; Hawaiʻi Technology Development Corporation; Hawaii Military Affairs Council; and one individual.
Your Committees find that advanced manufacturing refers to the incorporation of various innovative technologies that can reduce shipping and import costs and enhance delivery times if implemented locally. Your Committees further find that cybersecurity is the art of protecting networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use and the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Your Committees recognize the growing importance of advanced manufacturing and cybersecurity and believe that providing education in these fields will give students the skills needed to enter into growing modern industries.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Education and Higher Education that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 67 and recommend its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Education and Higher Education,
