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

 


PART I

     SECTION 1.  The purpose of this part is to repeal the Captain Cook memorial fund.

     The legislature finds that the fund is no longer necessary.  It has had no activity in recent years and a very small balance.

     "[[]§6E-4[]]  Administration.  All state historic areas and buildings surplus to the operations of the department of accounting and general services shall be transferred by executive order to the department[, except as provided in section 6E-33].  All state projects and programs relating to historic preservation shall come under the authority of the department."

     SECTION 3.  Section 6E-33, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is repealed.

     ["[§6E-33]  Captain Cook Memorial Fund.  All moneys in the Captain Cook memorial fund or which may be paid into the same from the proceeds of sales or which may be received by way of gift or otherwise for any of the purposes provided by this section, the acceptance of such gifts and the receipt of such funds being authorized, shall be expendable by the comptroller from time to time for any of the purposes provided by this section, and any original historical documents or other articles, or copies, facsimiles, or replicas thereof, so collected, and copies of publications made under this section shall be deposited in the archives of Hawaii to constitute a collection to be known as the "Captain Cook Memorial Collection".

     The comptroller may distribute free copies of such publications to libraries, museums, and other places of references open to the public in the United States or in other countries, not to exceed, however, one-third of the number of copies of each published.  The remaining copies may be sold at such reasonable prices as may be fixed by the comptroller, the proceeds of such sales to be paid into the trust fund."]

     SECTION 4.  The purpose of this part is to address the seal of quality special fund.  More specifically, this part repeals the special fund and requires the deposit of fees and fines generated by the seal of quality program to be deposited into the general fund.

     The legislature finds that the seal of quality special fund is not necessary.  Its balance and annual revenues and expenditures are relatively small.  Thus, a separate special fund for the program is not justified.

     SECTION 5.  Section 148-67, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

     (c)  Upon fulfillment of the purposes of this section, any unexpended or unencumbered funds appropriated by the legislature or remaining in the infrastructure development fund as of the close of business on December 31, 2004, shall not lapse into that fund or to the credit of the general fund, but shall be transferred to the credit of the Kikala-Keokea housing revolving fund established in section 201H-81 as of that date; provided that any unexpended or unencumbered moneys that were provided by the office of Hawaiian affairs and deposited into the infrastructure development fund for the purpose of infrastructure development shall be refunded to the office of Hawaiian affairs upon the completion of the fund's intended purpose.  No funds shall be transferred until all funding commitments entered into by the department of land and natural resources to complete the design and construction of infrastructure improvements have been executed."]

PART V

     SECTION 11.  The purpose of this part is to repeal the food distribution program revolving fund.

     The legislature finds that the revolving fund has no balance or recent activity.  Thus, the legislature finds that the revolving fund is not necessary.

     ["§302A-1315  Food distribution program revolving fund.  (a)  There is established the food distribution program revolving fund to be administered by the department.

PART XI

     SECTION 23.  The purpose of this part is to repeal the office of health care assurance special fund.

     "(b)  All fees paid and collected pursuant to this section and rules adopted in accordance with chapter 91 from facilities seeking licensure or certification by the department of health, including hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, home care agencies, intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities, freestanding outpatient surgical facilities, adult day health care centers, rural health centers, laboratories, adult residential care homes, expanded adult residential care homes, developmental disability domiciliary homes, assisted living facilities, therapeutic living programs, and special treatment facilities, shall be deposited into the [office of health care assurance special] general fund [created under section 321-1.4].  Any other entities required by law to be licensed by the department of health shall also be subject to reasonable fees established by the department of health by rules adopted in accordance with chapter 91.  The fees shall be deposited into the general fund."

     "[[]§321-20[]]  Remedies.  Notwithstanding other penalties, the director may enforce this chapter in either administrative or judicial proceedings:

     (1)  Administrative.  If the director determines that any person is violating any provision of this chapter, any rule adopted thereunder, or any variance or exemption or waiver issued pursuant thereto, the director may have that person served with a notice of violation and an order.  The notice shall specify the alleged violation.  The order may require that the alleged violator do any or all of the following:  cease and desist from the violation, pay an administrative penalty not to exceed $1,000 for each day of violation, correct the violation at the alleged violator's own expense, or appear before the director at a time and place specified in the order and answer the charges complained of.  The order shall become final twenty days after service unless within those twenty days the alleged violator requests in writing a hearing before the director.  Upon such request the director shall specify a time and place for the alleged violator to appear.  When the director issues an order for immediate action to protect the public health from an imminent and substantial danger, the department shall provide an opportunity for a hearing within twenty-four hours after service of the order.  After a hearing pursuant to this subsection, the director may affirm, modify, or rescind the order as appropriate.  The director may institute a civil action in any court of appropriate jurisdiction for the enforcement of any order issued pursuant to this subsection.

              Factors to be considered in imposing the administrative penalty include the nature and history of the violation and any prior violation and the opportunity, difficulty, and history of corrective action.  It is presumed that the violator's economic and financial conditions allow payment of the penalty and the burden of proof to the contrary is on the violator.  In any judicial proceeding to enforce the administrative penalty imposed pursuant to this chapter, the director need only show that notice was given, a hearing was held or the time granted for requesting a hearing had expired without such a request, the administrative penalty imposed, and that the penalty imposed remains unsatisfied.

              This section does not supersede specific administrative penalties provided elsewhere.

     (2)  Judicial.  The director may institute a civil action in any court of appropriate jurisdiction for injunctive relief to prevent violation of any order issued or rule adopted pursuant to this chapter, in addition to any other remedy or penalty provided for under this chapter.

     All penalties collected under this section shall be deposited into the general fund."

     SECTION 27.  Section 321-1.4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is repealed.

     ["§321-1.4  Office of health care assurance special fund; deposits; expenditures.  (a)  There is established within the department of health, to be administered by the department of health, the office of health care assurance special fund into which shall be deposited moneys collected under section 321-11.5(b) and all administrative penalties imposed and collected by the office of health care assurance pursuant to section 321-20.

PART XII

     SECTION 28.  The purpose of this part is to address the public health nursing special fund, the source of funding for the program providing case management services for medically fragile children.

     More specifically, this part repeals the special fund, but retains the case management services program.

     The legislature finds that the special fund has a relatively low balance and minimal activity.  Thus, the legislature finds that the special fund is not necessary.

     The legislature believes that case management services for medically fragile children is worthy of continuation.  Accordingly, the legislature retains reference to the program in statute and intends that it be provided with general funds.

     SECTION 29.  Chapter 321, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending the title of part XXXV to read as follows:

"[[]PART XXXV.[]  PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING SERVICES SPECIAL FUND] CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR MEDICALLY FRAGILE CHILDREN"

     SECTION 30.  Section 321-432, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

     "[[]§321-432[]  Public health nursing services special fund.  (a)  There is established within the state treasury a special fund to be known as the public health nursing services special fund.  The special fund shall be administered and expended by the department of health in accordance with this section.

     (1)  Assessment of children who are medically fragile to determine service needs;

     (2)  Development of a specific care plan;

     (3)  Referral for and linkages to services to implement the specific care plan; and

     (4)  Monitoring and follow-up.

     [(c)  The special fund shall consist of Medicaid] Medicaid reimbursements received by the department for case management services provided to families of medically fragile children[.] shall be deposited into the general fund."

PART XIII

     SECTION 31.  The purpose of this part is to address the Hawaii organ and tissue education special fund.

     More specifically, this part repeals the special fund and transfers it balance to the general fund.  This part also repeals the organ and tissue education fee that provided the proceeds for the special fund.

     The legislature finds that the special fund has a relatively low balance and minimal activity.  Thus, the legislature finds that the special fund and fee are not necessary.

     SECTION 32.  Section 286-109.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is repealed.

     ["§286-109.7  Organ and tissue education fee.  Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, beginning July 1, 2000, a donation of $1, in addition to any other fees under this chapter, may be collected upon designation by an individual or entity from each certificate of registration by the director of finance of each county to be deposited on a quarterly basis into the organ and tissue education special fund pursuant to section 327-24.  The counties may retain a portion of the $1 donation as an administrative fee to cover the cost of collecting, accounting for, and depositing the balance into the organ and tissue education special fund.  The retention shall not exceed $0.20 for each $1 collected."]

     SECTION 33.  Section 327-24, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is repealed.

     ["[§327-24]  Hawaii organ and tissue education special fund.  There is established in the state treasury the Hawaii organ and tissue education special fund.  Moneys collected under section 286-109.7 shall be deposited into the fund.  The fund shall be administered and distributed by the department of health and shall be used exclusively for public education programs and activities on organ, tissue, and eye donation."]

PART XIV

     SECTION 34.  The purpose of this part is to repeal the blind shop revolving and handicraft fund.

     The legislature finds that the revolving fund has a relatively low balance.  Thus, the legislature finds that the revolving fund is not necessary.

     Although the revolving fund is repealed, this part retains the department of human services' authority to provide the blind workshop and home labor program using other sources of funding to be determined under the executive budget process.

     SECTION 35.  Section 347-12, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

     "§347-12  Blind shop [revolving] and handicraft [fund.] program.  The [department of budget and finance shall create and maintain a revolving fund entitled "blind shop revolving and handicraft fund".  This fund may be used by the] department of human services [for] may provide a workshop [purposes] or home labor [purposes] program for the blind or others, who, in the opinion of the department of human services, will [be benefited by such] benefit from the experience [and all moneys in the fund may be expended for materials, machinery, and other facilities and for the erection, operation, and conduct of such workshops and for the payment of such compensation as the department of human services authorizes.  All proceeds derived from the sale of products of the workshops or the home labor shall be deposited in the fund].  Under the program, the department may train blind or other persons to produce crafts and other products for sale.

     This section shall be subject to any federal policies, rules, or regulations[, which] that may be applicable in order to obtain federal aid or the cooperation of any federal agency concerned."

PART XV

     SECTION 36.  The purpose of this part is to address the trust fund for the state certified motor vehicle arbitration program.

     More specifically, this part repeals the trust fund and transfers its unexpended and unencumbered balance to the compliance resolution fund.  This part also requires the fees formerly deposited into the trust fund to now be deposited into the compliance resolution fund.

     The legislature finds that the recent activity of the trust fund has been minimal.  Consequently, its existence separate from the compliance resolution fund is no longer justified.

     SECTION 37.  Section 481I-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (e) to read as follows:

     "(e)  Funding of the state certified arbitration program shall be provided through an initial filing fee of $200 to be paid by the manufacturer and $50 to be paid by the consumer upon initiating a case for arbitration under this section.  The fees shall be deposited into the compliance resolution fund.

     Every final decision in favor of the consumer issued by the independent arbitration mechanism shall include within its relief the return of the $50 filing fee to the consumer.  [The director of commerce and consumer affairs may establish a trust fund for the purpose of administering fees and costs associated with the state certified arbitration program.]"

PART XVI

     SECTION 38.  The purpose of this part is to transfer the balance of the fee simple residential revolving fund into the general fund on June 30, 2014.

     The legislature finds that the present balance of the fee simple residential revolving fund is relatively small.  More importantly, the legislature finds that the residential leasehold programs intended to be funded from the revolving fund have not been active in recent years.  Consequently, there is no immediate need for funds to operate the programs.

     If the need for operating funds becomes necessary in the future, the revolving fund may be replenished as provided under the enabling statute for the residential leasehold programs.

     SECTION 39.  Section 516-44, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

     "§516-44  Fee simple residential revolving fund.  (a)  A fee simple residential revolving fund is created.  The funds appropriated for the purposes of this chapter and chapter 519 and all moneys received or collected by the Hawaii housing finance and development corporation under this chapter and chapter 519 shall be deposited in the revolving fund.  Moneys collected to reimburse the corporation from the lessees for their pro rata share of the direct costs incurred by the corporation under this chapter shall be deposited into the revolving fund.  The proceeds in the funds shall first be used to pay the principal and interest on bonds or other indebtedness issued by the corporation, or by the State, and then for necessary expenses, including indirect costs of the corporation in administering chapters 516 and 519.

     Moneys in the fund shall be used to pay all costs of chapters 516 and 519 including administration.

     (b)  On June 30, 2014, the director of finance shall transfer the unexpended and unencumbered balance of the revolving fund to the general fund.

     After June 30, 2014, any proceeds deposited into the revolving fund shall be subject to subsection (a)."

PART XVII

     SECTION 40.  The following funds are abolished:

     (1)  The donations for voter registration drive trust account established in 1984 and administered by the department of accounting and general services;
