Description: Extends the sunset date of the convention center authority (CCA) to June 30, 2000; combines convention center capital and operations special funds; appropriates moneys from this consolidated special fund to CCA; specifies that reimbursement of the general fund for debt service on general obligation bonds or reimbursable general obligation funds for the Hawaii convention center be in accordance with a schedule determined by the director of finance, with the approval of the governor, in the best interest of the State; authorizes CCA to waive or substantially discount any payment of the convention center for a specific event whenever CCA determines that the waiver or discount is in the best interest of the convention center facility or the State by attracting new tourist markets or conventioneers.
