A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that in order to succeed in the responsibilities of the State to provide homeland security under chapter 128A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, it is necessary to establish protections for critical infrastructure information. The purpose of this Act is to establish and specify protections for information that is received or maintained by the office of homeland security regarding the security of critical infrastructure and protected systems, analysis, warning, interdependency study, recovery, reconstitution, or other informational purposes. SECTION 2. Chapter 128A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to part I to be appropriately designated and to read as follows: "§128A- Confidentiality of critical infrastructure information. (a) Notwithstanding section 92F-11 and any other law to the contrary, critical infrastructure information received or maintained by the office of homeland security in connection with the Hawaii state critical infrastructure security and resilience program shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed, except as provided for in subsection (b). (b) The office of homeland security may share confidential critical infrastructure information received or maintained under subsection (a) with federal agencies and state and county agencies within the State for the purposes of the security of critical infrastructure of protected systems; provided that the information shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed by the receiving agency to the public. (c) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to alter existing rights to access government records subject to chapter 92F from an agency other than the office of homeland security and state and county agencies receiving confidential critical infrastructure information pursuant to subsection (b)." SECTION 3. Section 128A-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new definition to be appropriately inserted and to read as follows: ""Critical infrastructure information" means information that is not customarily in the public domain and is related to the security of critical infrastructure or protected systems, including documents, records, or other information concerning: (1) Actual, potential, or threatened interference with, attack on, compromise of, or incapacitation of critical infrastructure or protected systems by either physical or computer-based attack or other similar conduct, including the misuse of or unauthorized access to all types of communications and data transmission systems, that violates federal, state, local, or tribal law, harms interstate commerce of the United States, or threatens public health or safety; (2) The ability of any critical infrastructure or protected system to resist such interference, compromise, or incapacitation, including any planned or past assessment, projection, or estimate of the vulnerability of critical infrastructure or a protected system, including security testing, risk evaluation thereto, risk-management planning, or risk audit; or (3) Any planned or past operational problem or solution regarding critical infrastructure or protected systems, including repair, recovery, reconstruction, insurance, or continuity, to the extent that it is related to the interference, compromise, or incapacitation." SECTION 4. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 3000.
