A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
The legislature further finds that Act 279 stipulated that any moneys not encumbered for specific purposes shall lapse to the general fund on June 30, 2025. Article VII, section 11, of the Hawaii State Constitution, in part, provides that no general funds appropriation shall be for a period exceeding three years. This provision therefore permits the encumbrance of biennial appropriations one year beyond the biennial period, or no later than June 30, 2024, for the fiscal biennium 2021‑2023. Accordingly, unencumbered funds appropriated by Act 279 will lapse on June 30, 2024.
The purpose of this Act is to make a new appropriation of general funds for fiscal year 2024‑2025 to make up for any Act 279 funds that lapse on June 30, 2024, in order to give practical effect to the legislature's intent for the appropriation in Act 279.
SECTION 2. Act 279, Session Laws of Hawaii 2022, is amended by amending section 6 to read as follows:
"SECTION 6. There is
appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of
$600,000,000 or so much there of as may be necessary for fiscal year 2021-2022
for the purposes of this Act; provided that any moneys not expended or
encumbered for specific purposes shall lapse to the general fund on June 30, [2025.]
2024.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of
Hawaiian home lands for the purposes of this Act."
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 2024-2025.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by
the department of Hawaiian home lands for the purposes of Act 279, Session Laws
of Hawaii 2022.
SECTION 4.
In accordance with section 9 of article VII, of the Constitution of the
State of Hawaii and sections 37-91 and 37-93, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the
legislature has determined that the appropriation contained in this Act will
cause the state general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024-2025 to
be exceeded by $ ,
or per cent. The reasons for exceeding the general fund
expenditure ceiling are that the appropriation made in this Act is necessary to
serve the public interest and to meet the needs provided for by this Act.
SECTION 5.
If any provision of this Act, or the application thereof to any person
or circumstance, is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other
provisions or applications of the Act that can be given effect without the
invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Act
are severable.
SECTION 6.
Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 7. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
