A BILL FOR AN ACT

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Act 178, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005, appropriated a total of $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2005-2006 from the state highway fund to the city and county of Honolulu ($4,000,000), the county of Hawaii ($2,000,000), the county of Maui ($2,000,000), and the county of Kauai ($2,000,000), as subsidies for county road work. The legislature also finds that section 248-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, authorizes the use of state highway fund moneys only for the state highway system. It does not authorize the use of such moneys for the road systems of the counties.

The purpose of this Act is to authorize the use of moneys from the state highway fund for the road systems of the counties for fiscal year 2005-2006.

SECTION 2. For fiscal year 2005-2006, moneys in the state highway fund may also be expended by the counties for the road system of the counties.

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