Bill > HR78

This Resolution requests the Information Technology Steering Committee (ITSC), a group composed of representatives from all branches of Hawaii's government and the private sector, to develop the State Information Technology Strategic Plan, ensuring it includes specific goals and objectives related to data. The ITSC is also asked to examine successful data strategies from other states and consult with relevant state departments, including those responsible for accounting, general services, enterprise technology, and information practices, to create a comprehensive data strategy for Hawaii. The committee must then submit this plan, along with any recommendations for new laws, to the Legislature by early 2019, aiming to improve government efficiency, transparency, and citizen services through better data management and accessibility, and to protect citizen data.
