Bill > SCR42

This Concurrent Resolution requests the State of Hawaii's Information Technology Steering Committee, a group composed of representatives from all branches of government and the private sector, to develop a comprehensive State Information Technology Strategic Plan that specifically incorporates data goals and objectives. The resolution emphasizes the importance of a strategic plan for improving government services, supporting the workforce, protecting citizen data, and ensuring cost-efficiency, noting that Hawaii currently lacks a dedicated chief data officer and has decentralized data management. The committee is directed to examine successful data strategies from other states and consult with relevant state departments, including the Office of Enterprise Technology Services and the Office of Information Practices, to create this plan, which should be submitted to the Legislature by early 2019 along with any proposed legislative changes.
