                        Floor Presentations for Friday, April 3, 2009:

CONGRATULATING AND COMMENDING THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, A COMPONENT OF THE PAPAHANAUMOKUAKEA MARINE NATIONAL MONUMENT, ON ITS CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.

RECOGNIZING AND CONGRATULATING THE HAWAIIAN INTERNATIONAL BILLFISH TOURNAMENT ON ITS GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY.

Addendum

Received message numbers 279 and 280.

Received message number 281 informing the House that S.B. No. 412 was signed into law on

April 1, 2009, as Act 2.

Received message number 278 transmitting a proposed bill draft for immediate passage to amend the FY 09 Executive Budget (Act 213, SLH 2007, as amended by Act 158, SLH 2008).  The draft includes:

· Departmental requests for federal stimulus funds in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) for FY 09.  The draft also contains corresponding general fund reductions to certain programs that receive offsetting federal funding available under the ARRA to help address the State's budget shortfall in FY 09.

· Non-ARRA related adjustments to appropriate increased federal TANF funding that Hawaii recently qualified for in FY 09.  This is necessary because appropriation of the TANF funds is a federal requirement.

· Requests for additional FY 09 funding for HTH 420, Adult Mental Health – Outpatient program, of $10 million, $1.86 million in ARRA Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) through the Department of Human Services (DHS) funds and $8.14 million in general funds, and for HTH 210, Hawaii Health Systems Corporation, of $14 million in general funds to meet program requirements for FY 09.
