RE: H.B. No. 2332
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2020
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Public Safety, Veterans, & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2332 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATEWIDE INTEROPERABLE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that this measure is intended to provide clear direction for the collaboration of various state and county agencies where public safety is concerned. By harnessing resources and identifying how information will be shared, incident response can be coordinated more effectively.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Inserting certain proposed amendments
presented in written testimony from the Statewide Interoperability Coordinator,
which amend the duties of the Statewide Interoperable Communications Executive
Committee by clarifying various communication system and network options, add
subject matter experts to the Statewide Interoperable Communications Technical
Subcommittee, and amend the duties of the Statewide Interoperable
Communications Coordinator;
(2) Providing that the membership of the Statewide
Interoperable Communications Executive Committee shall include four, rather
than two, members from each of the four counties, to be selected by the mayors
of each respective county, and removing qualifications for those members;
(3) Changing the effective
date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and
(4) Making technical,
nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Veterans, & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2332, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2332, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety, Veterans, & Military Affairs,
