A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

RELATING TO THE STATE FINANCES.

 

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

PART I

SECTION 1. Chapter 28, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

"§28-    Litigation deposits trust fund. (a) There is created in the state treasury the litigation deposits trust fund. There shall be deposited into this fund all moneys received through any civil action in which the State is a party where the settlement amount is $100,000 or higher, except for those actions involving departments able to procure their own legal services as provided for by section 28-8.3 and where no other state statute or court order specifically provides for the deposit of moneys received through the action.

(b) The fund shall be administered by the department of the attorney general. The department shall maintain accounting records of fund moneys, including subsidiary records of individual litigation deposits and disbursements thereof. Moneys in the fund may be separated into subsidiary accounts; provided that one subsidiary account shall not be commingled with moneys from another account except for deposit or investment purposes under subsection (d).

(c) Disbursements from each account maintained under subsection (b) may include attorney's fees and other necessary expenses that the department determines to be reasonable and directly related to prosecution of the civil action for which the account is maintained; provided that in the case of moneys deposited as a result of recoveries by an agency to which a non-general fund applies, the moneys shall be held and disbursed intact for deposit to the credit of the non-general fund. Money deposited in the fund pursuant to an order of the court shall be disbursed in accordance with the order of the court. Any residual funds remaining in an account shall be transferred to the respective non-general or general fund with which the civil action is associated no later than thirty days after the civil action for which the account is maintained is closed and all costs of that civil action have been paid, unless otherwise provided for by statute.

(d) Moneys in the fund may be invested by the department in securities as provided by section 36-21. Investment earnings shall be deposited in the general fund.

(e) The department shall submit a report to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of each regular session on:

(1) The transactions, by subsidiary account, that take place in the fund for each fiscal year; and

(2) A summary of the collections made in any amount on behalf of other departments and agencies specifying the appropriate number of transactions and amount collected for each department and agency."

SECTION 2. Chapter 37, part III, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding three new sections to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

"§37-     Criteria for the establishment and continuance of special funds. Special funds shall only be established pursuant to an act of the legislature. The legislature, in establishing or reviewing a special fund to determine whether it should be continued, shall ensure that the special fund:

(1) Serves the purpose for which it was originally established;

(2) Reflects a clear nexus between the benefits sought and charges made upon the users or beneficiaries of the program, as opposed to serving primarily as a means to provide the program or users with an automatic means of support that is removed from the normal budget and appropriation process;

(3) Provides an appropriate means of financing for the program or activity; and

(4) Demonstrates the capacity to be financially self- sustaining.

§37-     Criteria for the establishment and continuance of revolving funds. Revolving funds shall only be established pursuant to an act of the legislature. The legislature, in establishing or reviewing a revolving fund to determine whether it should be continued, shall ensure that the revolving fund:

(1) Serves the purpose for which it was originally established;

(2) Reflects a clear nexus between the benefits sought and charges made upon the users or beneficiaries of the program, as opposed to serving primarily as a means to provide the program or users with an automatic means of support that is removed from the normal budget and appropriation process;

(3) Provides an appropriate means of financing for the program or activity; and

(4) Demonstrates the capacity to be financially self- sustaining.

§37-     Criteria for the establishment and continuance of administratively established accounts and funds. Any department or agency that administratively establishes any new account or fund shall, within thirty working days of its establishment, transmit a report to the legislature. The report to the legislature shall include:

(1) The justification for the establishment of the account or fund; and

(2) The sources of revenue for the fund.

Each department or agency shall, at least twenty days prior to the convening of each regular session, submit a report to the legislature. The report shall include:

(1) A list of all administratively established accounts or funds; and

(2) All revenues, expenditures, encumbrances, and ending balances of each account or fund."

SECTION 3. Section 328L-3, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (d) to read as follows:

"(d) The legislature may make appropriations from the fund for the following purposes:

(1) To maintain levels of programs determined to be essential to [the] public health, safety, [and] welfare[;], and education;

(2) To provide for counter cyclical economic and employment programs in periods of economic downturn;

(3) To restore facilities destroyed or damaged or services disrupted by disaster in any county; and

(4) To meet other emergencies when declared by the governor or determined to be urgent by the legislature.

Any act making appropriations from the emergency and budget reserve fund shall include a declaration of findings and purposes setting forth the purposes, the amounts, and the reasons why the appropriations are necessary and shall require a two-thirds majority vote of each house of the legislature."

PART II

SECTION 4. The legislature finds that the auditor conducted an update of its 1992 Loss of Budgetary Control: A Summary Report of the Review of Special and Revolving Funds (report no. 92-14). Report no. 92-14 provided an overview of five reports issued in 1991 and 1992 that reviewed all special and revolving funds in existence as of July 1, 1990, of sixteen state departments, the University of Hawaii, and the judiciary. This update examined all special and revolving funds created since July 1, 1990, that are administered by, or are administratively attached to, the same eighteen agencies. The update also included a review of significant operational changes for those funds reviewed in the auditor's 1991 and 1992 reports on the same matter.

Since July 1, 1990, seventy-one special and revolving funds have been repealed or discontinued. However, according to the auditor's July, 2001, update of report no. 92-14, a majority (one hundred six out of one hundred sixty-six) of the special and revolving funds previously reviewed were still in existence as of July 1, 1999. The auditor also found that few of the one hundred six special and revolving funds have undergone significant changes since they were last reviewed. The auditor also found thirty-one special and revolving funds previously reviewed in 1991 and 1992, which were in existence as of July 1, 1999, still did not meet all established criteria. The fiscal year 1999-2000 ending cash balance of these thirty-one funds totaled approximately $77,400,000.

The auditor also found that one hundred thirty-two special and revolving funds have been statutorily or administratively created since July 1, 1990, but twenty-five of these funds have since been repealed or discontinued. The aggregate cash balance of the special and revolving funds created after July 1, 1990, and still in existence as of June 30, 2000, totaled approximately $220,000,000. However, the auditor found that thirty-eight of these special and revolving funds did not meet all criteria of a special or revolving fund and held over $19,000,000 outside the general fund.

Despite the proliferation of special and revolving funds, the legislature believes that there are many methods available to the legislature to strengthen its control over non-general funds.

The purpose of this part is to reclassify, repeal, or discontinue certain revolving and special funds following the recommendations of the auditor.

SECTION 5. Section 302A-806, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

"§302A-806 Hawaii teacher standards board [revolving] special fund. There is established within the state treasury a [revolving] special fund to be known as the Hawaii teacher standards board [revolving] special fund, into which shall be deposited all moneys received by the board in the form of appropriations, fees, fines, grants, donations, or revenues regardless of their source. The [revolving] special fund shall be administered by the department and used to pay the expenses of the board, including but not limited to the payment of all operational and personnel costs, and reimbursements to board members for travel expenses incurred."

SECTION 6. Section 304-8.86, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

"[[]§304-8.86[]] University of Hawaii workers' compensation and unemployment insurance compensation [revolving] trust fund. There is established a University of Hawaii workers' compensation and unemployment insurance compensation [revolving] trust fund into which shall be deposited all revenues derived from assessments for workers' compensation costs and unemployment insurance compensation costs against the [revolving fund] payroll of University of Hawaii employees.

The necessity for the extent and nature of security required for a loan or grant shall be determined by the corporation.

The foregoing powers are subject, however, to the following restrictions and limitations:

(1) No single loan or grant shall exceed two per cent of the project cost;
