A BILL FOR AN ACT
MAKING AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION FOR DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ELECTRICITY.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. This Act is recommended by the governor for immediate passage in accordance with section 9 of article VII of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii.
SECTION 2. The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to fund the cost of the department of education's electricity usage. Increasing usage and cost of electricity has created a critical funding emergency for fiscal year 2005-2006. The department of education will not have sufficient funds to pay for electricity with the current appropriation amount. An emergency appropriation is needed to fund the program for the first year of the biennium.
SECTION 3. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $4,908,748, or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2005-2006, for the purposes of this Act.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of education.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
