STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

relating to capital improvements pertaining to the civil air patrol.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that the civil air patrol provides necessary disaster relief, search and rescue, homeland security, and medical emergency transport services to local and national organizations.  As a peacetime auxiliary of the Air Force, the Hawaii civil air patrol remains an active volunteer organization with approximately five hundred fifty members, including two hundred cadets.  The Hawaii wing has three primary missions:  search and rescue, aerospace education, and the cadet program.  It is also an active participant in counter-drug operations for the Drug Enforcement Agency, flying over one hundred seventy-nine missions in 2003.

     The legislature further finds that maintenance and repair projects are a necessity and the Hawaii civil air patrol depends on state funding to meet its basic needs.  The department of transportation provides the building to house the civil air patrol.  The building is in need of repairs.
