H.D. 2

STATE OF HAWAII

S.D. 1

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY.

 

 

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

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that the State requires a plan to relocate public safety services located within and nearby inundation zones to a centralized non-inundation zone area that will provide direct access to highways and be in convenient proximity to hospital and military services and assistance.  In the event of a major disaster, critical systems could be unavailable for months, negatively impacting the lives of many tens of thousands of citizens and costing the State tens of millions of dollars in unplanned system recovery and restart costs.

     The legislature further finds that the State's current data center environment is not fulfilling the capacity, reliability, and security needs of the various departments.  The existence of more than thirty low-quality data centers, which are poorly secured and monitored and completely unmanned more than sixty-five per cent of the time, exposes the State to the possibility of significant physical and cyber security breaches, resulting in the loss of confidential information about our most vulnerable citizens.  Compromising citizens' security and damaging the reputation of the State as a trustworthy data custodian could expose the State to tens of millions of dollars in liability and remediation costs.

     The legislature further finds that the high technology development corporation in collaboration with the department of accounting and general services and chief information officer, has the ability to oversee the design, construction, and operation of a data center that can house the State's centralized computing resources along with key staff that support and maintain these resources.

     The purpose of this Act is to centralize first responders and cyber security facilities to enable the sharing of resources and support services by establishing a central Oahu first responders technology campus and cyber security command center.

     SECTION 2.  Chapter 206M, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new part to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

"Part    .  FIRST RESPONDERS technology campus and cyber security command center
