Financial Plan and Budget Overview

Ms. Georgina Kawamura, Director

Department of Budget and Finance

The Constitution of the State of Hawaii and the Hawaii Revised Statutes requires the Governor of the State of Hawaii to submit to the Legislature a balanced six-year financial plan and budget at least 30 days prior to the convening of the Regular Session. In transmitting the six-year program and financial plan, the current Governor indicated that significant modifications would be made.

The new administration also indicated that additional time would be necessary to meet its constitutional and statutory obligations. As an accommodation to the new administration, the Legislature has delayed its normal timeline for public briefings.

Ms. Kawamura, the Director-Designee of the Department of Budget and Finance has been invited and will present the Administration's Financial Plan and Biennium Budget to the House Committee on Finance.

If you require special assistance or auxiliary aids or services to participate in the public briefing process (i.e., sign language interpreter, wheelchair accessibility, or parking designated for the disabled) please contact the committee clerk 24 hours prior to the hearing so arrangements can be made.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL THE COMMITTEE CLERK AT 586-6200.
