RE:   S.B. No. 830

      S.D. 2

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 830, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GOVERNMENT SHARED SERVICES TECHNOLOGY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to reduce costs and maximize efficient implementation of the State's information technology systems by establishing a Shared Services Technology Special Fund (Special Fund), which will permit the State to pool agency funds and centrally coordinate planning and acquisition of the State's information technology systems, hardware, and software.

 

     The Department of Education supported this bill.  The Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) submitted comments.

 

     Your Committee notes that DAGS raised concerns regarding the provision in this measure that requires the Legislature to authorize the use of the Special Fund prior to any expenditure from the Special Fund, and also requested that an appropriate expenditure ceiling be established for the Special Fund.  Your Committee respectfully requests the Committee on Finance to examine these issues.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2112, to encourage further discussion; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 830, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 830, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs,
