S.D. 1
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2018
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts, to which was referred S.B. No. 2777, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE NATIONAL GUARD,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to preserve the operating budget of the State Department of Defense while assisting the Department in recouping costs associated with the rental and use of facilities under its jurisdiction, including utility, maintenance, and personnel costs, by allowing the Department to retain a portion of the rental revenues to cover these costs.
The State Department of Defense, Oahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party of Hawai‘i, and a concerned individual testified in support of this measure.
Your
Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Inserting
language that appropriates funds for the establishment of one, full-time
equivalent, civil service exempt cybersecurity intelligence analyst position
within the National Guard under the State Department of Defense to analyze
cyber threats to critical infrastructure throughout the State (e.g., hospitals,
utilities, airlines, retail, government, etc.) and provide a nexus to federal
partners (e.g., Federal Bureau of Investigation) to warn private and public
sector entities of incoming cyber threats or ongoing cyber infiltrations and
investigate these threats so as to best advise these sectors on how to respond;
(2) Changing
its effective date to June 15, 1215, to facilitate further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2777, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2777, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts,
