A BILL FOR AN ACT
MAKING AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
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 Constitution of the State of Hawaii.
SECTION
2. Act 49, section 3, Session Laws of
Hawaii 2017, appropriated $3,344,801 in general funds to the department of
public safety to pay for temporary non-state housing for 248 Halawa
correctional facility (HCF) inmates during capital improvement construction at
HCF under DAGS Job No. 12-27-5644 – security electronics and hardware repairs
and improvements, through December 2017.
The project's timeline has been delayed due to a specialty
subcontractor's inability to perform the job and the necessary hiring of a new,
qualified vendor. It is now anticipated
that the project will be completed by October 2018. Funds will be needed to continue the
temporary housing of the 248 HCF inmates at a non-state facility for another
six months to enable the project to move forward to completion.
The
purpose of this Act is to make an emergency appropriation to provide funds for
the department of public safety to cover the costs of housing 248 inmates at a
non-state facility for an additional six months, in order for work on DAGS Job
No. 12-27-5644 – security electronics and hardware repairs and improvements to
move forward to completion.
SECTION
3. There is appropriated out of the
general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $3,361,139 or so much
thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2017-2018 for the department of
public safety to pay for the temporary housing of 248 inmates at a non-state
facility for an additional six months during work on capital improvements to
the Halawa Correctional Facility under DAGS Job No. 12-27-5644 – security
electronics and hardware repairs and improvements.
The
sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of public safety for the
purposes of this Act.
SECTION
4. This Act shall take effect upon its
approval.
