Bill > HCR94

This Concurrent Resolution requests the Information Technology Steering Committee, a group with representatives from all branches of Hawaii's government and the private sector, to develop a comprehensive State Information Technology Strategic Plan that specifically includes goals and objectives for managing and utilizing data. The resolution emphasizes the importance of a data strategy, noting that other states have adopted open data policies to improve decision-making and that Hawaii's data is currently decentralized, hindering integration. The committee is asked to consider best practices from other states, consult with relevant state departments like the Office of Enterprise Technology Services and the Office of Information Practices, and submit the plan, along with any legislative recommendations, to the Legislature by early 2019. The overarching aim is to enhance government services, protect citizen data, and promote efficiency and transparency through better technology and data management.
