HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES	H.B. NO.	896
TWENTY-FOURTH LEGISLATURE, 2007
STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

relating to the legislative broadcast program.

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

     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that currently much time and effort is invested in using a contractor to manually wire each conference room of the state capitol for broadcasts.  Completely hard wiring the conference rooms would save money, which can be utilized instead to enhance public programming.

     The purpose of this Act is to make an appropriation to wire all state capitol conference rooms and both chambers for video broadcasts.

     SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $          , or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2007-2008, for the installation of wiring into all state capitol conference rooms used for public hearings, capitol auditorium, and both chambers, to allow for video broadcasts.

     The sum appropriated shall be expended by the legislature for the purposes of this Act.

     SECTION 3.  This Act shall take effect upon its approval; provided that section 2 shall take effect on July 1, 2007.
