Makes an appropriation to provide lifeguard services at Makena State Park.

A BILL FOR AN ACT

The long and wide sand beach, deep blue waters, and the vista of Kahoolawe across the channel all attract thousands of visitors daily.

The purpose of this Act is to make an appropriation for the provision of lifeguard services at the Makena state park.

SECTION 3. The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of land and natural resources for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2006.
