     (b)  The office of homeland security may share confidential critical infrastructure information received or maintained under subsection (a) with federal agencies and state and county agencies within the State for the purposes of the security of critical infrastructure of protected systems; provided that the information shall remain confidential and shall not be available to the public."

     SECTION 3. Section 128A-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new definition to be appropriately inserted and to read as follows:

     ""Critical infrastructure information" means information not customarily in the public domain and related to the security of critical infrastructure or protected systems, including documents, records, or other information concerning:

     (1)  Actual, potential, or threatened interference with, attack on, compromise of, or incapacitation of critical infrastructure or protected systems by either physical or computer-based attack or other similar conduct, including the misuse of or unauthorized access to all types of communications and data transmission systems, that violates federal, state, local, or tribal law; harms interstate commerce of the United States; or threatens public health or safety;
