SENATE FLOOR AMENDMENT
SECTION 1. House Bill No. 1026, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1, section 12 is amended by declaring that the appropriations in this measure will cause the general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024-2025 to be further exceeded by 2 percent, rather than 1 percent, to read as follows:
"SECTION 12. 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 at the beginning of the regular session of 2025, the general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024-2025 was exceeded by $8,551,795 or one per cent. The appropriations contained in Act 1, Session Laws of Hawaii 2025 caused the general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024-2025 to be further exceeded by an additional $30,334,159. Therefore, the general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024-2025 has already been exceeded by $38,885,954 or 1 per cent.
The appropriations contained in this Act will cause the general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024-2025 to be further exceeded by $105,698,787, or 2 per cent. This declaration takes into account the additional general fund appropriations authorized for fiscal year 2024-2025 in this Act only. The reasons for exceeding the general fund expenditure ceiling are that the appropriations made in this Act are necessary to serve the public interest and to meet the needs addressed by this Act."
