SECTION 1. Section 353-33, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is repealed.
"[[§353-33] Correctional

state treasury the correctional program revolving fund. This fund shall be
expended at the discretion of the director for the purpose of offsetting the cost
of providing programs for inmates.
(b) The revolving fund shall consist of
funds derived from fees collected pursuant to subsection (c).
(c) The director may charge any committed
or detained person a fee for participation in a correctional program; provided
that no person shall be denied access to a program because of the person's
inability to pay the fee. The fee shall be reasonably related to the actual
cost of providing the program, except that the fee may be reduced, in whole or
in part, at the discretion of the director if the director finds that the
person is unable to pay the entire fee. All fees collected pursuant to this
subsection shall be deposited in the correctional program revolving fund.
(d) The director shall submit an annual report
on the status of the correctional program revolving fund to the legislature at
least twenty days prior to the convening of each regular session of the
legislature. The report shall include but not be limited to the following:

deposited in the correctional program revolving fund for the fiscal year just
ended; and

expenditures made from the fund, and the balances remaining on June 30 of each
year.
The director may include the aforementioned
report in its annual report to the legislature and the governor.]"
