RE: S.B. No. 2780
S.D. 1
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Development and Technology, to which was referred S.B. No. 2780 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND GENERAL SERVICES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate monies for 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.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Office of the Governor and the Office of Information Management and Technology.
Your Committee finds that the Office of Information Management and Technology has been developing the statewide business transformation and information technology strategic plan, which is anticipated to be delivered in July 2012. The plan will provide a roadmap and prioritize projects over a ten-year span for implementation in two-year increments to coincide with the biennium budget timeline. Your Committee understands that while many of the projects will not be funded until the 2013-2014 fiscal year, the Office of Information Management and Technology has outlined a number of initiatives for fiscal year 2012-2013, including:
(1) Triage Projects. $3,400,000 to ensure continuity of day-to-day critical business operations for government services;
(2) Business and Information Technology Reengineering. $5,000,000 for projects that relate to business process and information technology reengineering, as well as management and oversight of information technology acquisitions;
(3) Pilot Integration Projects. $1,800,000 for implementation of pilot integration projects that take advantage of new technologies to increase operational capabilities or enhance current processes, resulting in reduced costs, increased employee productivity and process efficiencies, improved information assurance and cyber security standards, and enhanced capabilities and capacity; and
(4) Statewide Financial, Acquisition, and Human Resource Management System. $15,000,000 for capital improvement projects through the issuance of general obligation bonds in fiscal year 2013 to develop an integrated statewide financial, acquisition, and human resources management system that will be used by all departments and agencies.
Your Committee is supportive of these efforts in support of the statewide business transformation and information technology strategic plan, as a means of providing better services to the public and achieving greater efficiencies by government agencies.
Your Committee has amended this measure by extending the lapse date of the capital improvement project appropriation to June 30, 2014, and making other technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development and Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2780, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2780, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development and Technology,
