RE:    S.B. No. 2780

       S.D. 1

       H.D. 2

       C.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2780, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND GENERAL SERVICES,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this measure is to:

 

     (1)  Identify and transfer money from designated sources into the shared services technology special fund for the State's information technology transformation initiative; and

 

     (2)  Require state departments to offer to sell or donate office equipment to schools, nonprofits, or salvage businesses before disposal.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that the initiative to modernize and transform the State's technology infrastructure, systems, processes, and procedures is well underway, and the first phase of the modernization initiative was completed with the publishing of the "Baseline of Information Management and Technology and Comprehensive View of State Services" report in September 2011.  The findings and recommendations in this report provide the basis for the strategic direction that the State needs to take going forward, and the development of the statewide information technology strategic plan, which will include a business transformation strategy, is anticipated to be delivered by the Chief Information Officer in July 2012.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by deleting it contents and replacing them with the language in the S.D. 1 version, which:

 

     (1)  Contains an extensive findings and purpose section regarding the business and technology transformation initiative to prepare the State for the larger transformation activities that will be defined in the forthcoming information technology strategic plan;

 

     (2)  Appropriates monies for the information technology transformation initiative in fiscal year 2012-2013, and authorizes issuance of general obligation bonds for planning, design, and requirements necessary to develop and implement an integrated financial and human resource management system for the State; and

 

     (3)  Inserts and effective date of July 1, 2012.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has further amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Deleting the appropriation and general obligation bond authorization;

 

     (2)  Beginning July 30, 2012, requiring the State Procurement Office and the Office of Information Management and Technology to submit monthly reports to the Legislature on the status of information technology procurements for authorized projects undertaken by the Office of Information Management and Technology to implement the State's information technology strategic plan;

 

     (3)  Authorizing, where appropriate, the State Procurement Officer to approve exemptions for individual procurements that facilitate the immediate deployment of demonstration technology projects authorized in the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2012 under information and communication services (AGS 131) that will be completed by June 30, 2013; and

 

     (4)  Requiring the Office of Information Management and Technology to submit a report on the number of information technology procurements completed on an expedited basis, the results achieved in each technology project, as well as recommendations on the feasibility of establishing a new category for information technology procurements within the State's procurement laws.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2780, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2780, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
