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

 

     SECTION 1.  The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to the University of Hawaii Pamantasan Council for three full-time equivalent (3.0 FTE) positions.

     SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $310,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2023-2024 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2024-2025 to fund the establishment of the following positions for the University of Hawaii Pamantasan Council:

     (1)  One full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) permanent faculty position at Leeward community college;

     (2)  One full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) permanent faculty position at the University of Hawaii Maui college; and

     (3)  One full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) permanent administrative, professional, and technical position at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

     The sums appropriated shall be expended by the University of Hawaii for the purposes of this Act.

     SECTION 3.  In accordance with section 9 of article VII of the Hawaii State Constitution and sections 37‑91 and 37‑93, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the legislature has determined that the appropriations contained in H.B. No. 300, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1, will cause the state general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2023‑2024 to be exceeded by $1,063,767,367 or 10 per cent.  In addition, the appropriations contained in this Act will cause the general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2023‑2024 to be further exceeded by $310,000 or 1 per cent.  The combined total amount of general fund appropriations contained in only these two Acts will cause the state general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2023‑2024 to be exceeded by $1,064,077,367 or 11 per cent.  The reasons for exceeding the general fund expenditure ceiling are that:

     (1)  The appropriation made in this Act is necessary to serve the public interest; and

     (2)  The appropriation made in this Act meets the needs addressed by this Act.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2023.
