A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO GOVERNMENT.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii 2011, establishes a comprehensive information system for public lands to be used for the inventory and maintenance of information relating to the public land trust, also known as ceded lands, and other state lands. All state and county agencies are directed to assist the department of land and natural resources in facilitating the establishment of the comprehensive information system for public lands.
The legislature further finds that the inventory required to be taken and information to be maintained are important tools to assist the State to manage its assets.
The legislature further finds that insufficient information on underutilized public facilities exacerbates lost revenues for the State, so it is important that all state and county agencies work together to ensure that state facilities are used to their fullest potential.
The purpose of this Act is to require the department of accounting and general services to expand the scope of the comprehensive information system established pursuant to Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii 2011, to inventory and maintain information about the lands of the public land trust described in section 5(f) of the Admission Act and article XII, section 4, of the Hawaii State Constitution to include public buildings, facilities, and sites thereby creating a comprehensive asset management system for public lands and facilities.
SECTION 2. Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii 2011, is amended by adding a new section to read as follows:
"SECTION 2A. (a) The department of accounting and general services shall initiate and coordinate all efforts to establish a complete and accurate inventory of public buildings, facilities, and sites on the lands of the public land trust to which state agencies hold title or over which they maintain management control.
(b) The department of accounting and general services shall incorporate the inventory of public buildings, facilities, and sites together with the public land trust inventory and the public land trust information system to create an integrated, comprehensive system for asset management of public buildings, facilities, and sites. All state agencies shall transfer to the department of accounting and general services all programs and hardware associated with the inventory for purposes of this subsection.
(c) All state and county agencies shall assist the department of accounting and general services in gathering the information required by this section, and shall comply with requests for information or services by the department of accounting and general services in furtherance of this section.
(d) All state agencies shall report to the department of accounting and general services by January 1, 2014, an inventory of public buildings, facilities, and sites owned or operated by the reporting agency. All state agencies shall thereafter submit to the department of accounting and general services an updated annual inventory of public buildings, facilities, and sites owned or operated by the reporting agency.
(e) As used in this Act, the term "public buildings, facilities, and sites" shall have the same meaning as set forth in section 103-50, Hawaii Revised Statutes."
SECTION 3. 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 2013-2014 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2014-2015 for the department of accounting and general services to coordinate the inventory of public buildings, facilities, and sites and for the creation of a comprehensive system for asset management.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of accounting and general services for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
