Amends Act 41, Session Laws of Hawaii 2004, to authorize the use of moneys allocated to the Pearlridge elementary school cafeteria expansion project for renovation, as well as expansion, of the cafeteria. (SD1)

A BILL FOR AN ACT

SECTION 1. The purpose of this Act is to amend Act 200, Session Laws of Hawaii 2003, to allow appropriated funds to be used for expansion and renovation of the Pearl Ridge Elementary School cafeteria. According to the interpretation of the current law by the Department of Budget and Finance, the existing appropriation language allows funds to be used only for expansion, and therefore limits the kinds of changes allowable. This Act shall broaden the language of the law so that the cafeteria can be expanded and renovated according to the needs of the school, as it currently can accommodate only one-third of the student body at a time. As a result of this spatial insufficiency, the school can hold no school-wide functions or activities, and must have three lunch periods per day.

SECTION 2. Section 77, Act 200, Session Laws of Hawaii 2003, as amended by section 5, Act 41, Session Laws of Hawaii 2004, is amended by amending item G-48 to read as follows:

PLANS 1

DESIGN 150

CONSTRUCTION 799

TOTAL FUNDING AGS 950 B B"

SECTION 2. New statutory material is underscored.

SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
