TWENTY-SECOND LEGISLATURE, 2004

 

STATE OF HAWAII

 


 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

relating to the molokai irrigation system.

 

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

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the Molokai irrigation system needs immediate capital improvements to efficiently manage current water sources. The legislature further finds that the existing description of this project, in the general appropriations act of 2003, focuses on long-term water source development and does not address the immediate need to improve the Molokai irrigation system. While long-term planning is important to address future water needs, immediate improvements are necessary to sustain and maximize the existing water sources within the Molokai irrigation system.

The purpose of this Act is to amend an existing appropriation of capital improvement funds to provide for the design, equipment, and construction for the improvements to the Molokai irrigation system. This Act will not change the amount of the function; it will simply shift its focus.

SECTION 2. Act 200, Session Laws of Hawaii 2003, is amended by amending section 77, item A.3., to read as follows:

"3. MOLOKAI IRRIGATION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS, MOLOKAI

EQUIPMENT 1

CONSTRUCTION 198

SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect retroactive to July 1, 2003.

INTRODUCED BY:
