Bill > HB1132

This bill establishes legal protections for critical infrastructure information (CII) collected by Hawaii's Office of Homeland Security, creating a framework for keeping sensitive security-related data confidential. The legislation defines critical infrastructure information as non-public details related to potential threats, vulnerabilities, or operational challenges facing critical systems and infrastructure, including physical and cyber-based risks that could harm interstate commerce or public safety. Under the bill, such information received or maintained by the Office of Homeland Security would be confidential and not subject to public disclosure, with limited exceptions that allow sharing with federal, state, and county agencies specifically for infrastructure security purposes. Importantly, the bill mandates that even when shared with other agencies, the information must remain confidential and cannot be disclosed to the public. The legislation aims to enhance homeland security by providing a legal mechanism to protect sensitive infrastructure information while still allowing necessary information sharing among government agencies responsible for protecting critical systems. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 3000 (which appears to be a placeholder date).
