A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

MAKING AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS RELATED TO THE ASIA-PACIFIC ECONOMIC COOPERATION MEETINGS.

 

 

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

 


     SECTION 1.  This Act is recommended by the governor for immediate passage in accordance with section 9 of article VII of the state constitution.

     SECTION 2.  A critical need exists to reimburse seven state departments for the costs of providing emergency management, public safety, and security in preparation for and during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings held in Hawaii in November 2011.  Federal reimbursement of these costs is being sought; however, reimbursement is not guaranteed and, if granted, is not likely to be received within the current fiscal year.

     SECTION 3.  There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $2,709,966 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2011-2012 to reimburse the moneys expended by the seven state departments for costs related to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings.

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

     SECTION 4.  Subject to the approval of the governor, the department of defense may transfer funds to the respective seven state departments to reimburse the departments for costs associated with providing emergency management, public safety, and security for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings held in November 2011.

     SECTION 5.  Any reimbursement received from the federal government for costs incurred by state agencies to provide emergency management, public safety, and security for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings held in November 2011, and for which the moneys appropriated by this Act have been appropriated to replace, shall be deposited into the general fund.

     SECTION 6.  This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
