RE:    S.B. No. 796

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 796, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INFORMATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to require a business that maintains personal information about Hawaii residents to implement a comprehensive information security program.  

 

     Your Committee received comments in support of this measure from Bruce Coppa, Comptroller, Department of Accounting and General Services.

 

     Your Committee received comments in opposition to this measure from Rick Tsujimura, Reed Elsevier, Inc.; Christopher Oswald, Director, Reed Elsevier, Inc.; and Oren T. Chikamoto, American Council of Life Insurers.

 

     Your Committee received comments on this measure from Noel T. Ono, Director, City and County of Honolulu Department of Human Resources; and Mihoko E. Ito, Consumer Data Industry Association.

 

     Your Committee finds that businesses that maintain personal information about the residents of the State should execute comprehensive data security plans to provide adequate protection from potential security breaches.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Deleting the language defining "security breach" and inserting a reference to the definition of that term in section 487N-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to ensure that the definitions are consistent; and

 

     (2)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 796, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 796, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
