A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII.

 

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

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that recent budget shortfalls at the University of Hawaii have resulted in a shortage of necessary faculty positions in the college of education. The legislature further finds that permanent funds are needed to replace temporary sources of funding for positions in special education in order to maintain current levels of productivity in special education. Furthermore, the legislature also finds that there is a shortage of school principals, necessitating additional faculty in the area of educational administration. The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds for faculty positions at the college of education.

SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $1,100,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2003-2004, and the same sum, or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2004-2005, for the college of education at the University of Hawaii to fund 17.5 full-time equivalent faculty positions; provided that 7.0 full-time equivalent positions shall be for special education and that 1.0 full-time equivalent position shall be for educational administration.

SECTION 3. The sums appropriated shall be expended by the University of Hawaii for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.

INTRODUCED BY:
