(2) The sum of [$1,302,225] $2,604,450 shall be allocated to the department of labor and industrial relations to be used by the department of labor and industrial relations[,] in consultation with local workforce investment boards of each of the four counties[,] to plan, develop, and implement a computer system that benefits workforce development activities and programs operated by the counties.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of labor and industrial relations for the purposes of this Act."
SECTION 2. Act 249, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005, is amended by repealing section 4.
["SECTION 4. No funds appropriated under section 3 to the department of labor and industrial relations for use by the department of labor and industrial relations and the counties may be released by the governor to the department of labor and industrial relations until all funds appropriated by the legislature for the benefit of the counties under section 3 have been timely, fully, and completely released to the counties as intended by the legislature.
The allotment system powers granted to the governor and the executive branch by the legislature under part II of chapter 37, Hawaii Revised Statutes, are not applicable to the appropriation of federal Reed Act funds being made in section 3 as the federal funds being appropriated under this Act do not affect the solvency of the general fund."]
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2006.
