STATE OF HAWAII

H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO GOVERNMENT.

 

 

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

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii 2011, establishes a comprehensive information system for public lands to be used for the inventory and maintenance of information relating to the public land trust, also known as ceded lands, and other state lands.  All state and county agencies are directed to assist the department of land and natural resources in facilitating the establishment of the comprehensive information system for public lands.

     The legislature further finds that the inventory required to be taken and information to be maintained are important tools to assist the State to manage its assets.

     The legislature further finds that insufficient information on underutilized public facilities exacerbates lost revenues for the State, so it is important that all state and county agencies work together to ensure that state facilities are used to their fullest potential.

     The purpose of this Act is to require the department of accounting and general services to coordinate efforts to establish a complete inventory of state-owned or managed public buildings, facilities, and sites on lands of the public land trust.

     SECTION 2.  Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii 2011, is amended by adding a new section to read as follows:

     "SECTION 2A.  (a)  The department of accounting and general services shall coordinate efforts to establish a complete and accurate inventory of public buildings, facilities, and sites on the lands of the public land trust to which state agencies hold title or over which they maintain management control by accepting information from state agencies on the inventory of public buildings owned or operated by each agency.

     (b)  All state agencies shall report to the department of accounting and general services by December 1, 2013, an inventory of public buildings, facilities, and sites owned or operated by the reporting agency and shall comply with requests for information or services by the department of accounting and general services in furtherance of this section.

     (c)  The department of accounting and general services shall submit a report to the legislature of its progress in implementing this section no later than twenty days before the commencement of the regular session of 2014.

     (d)  As used in this Act, the term "public buildings, facilities, and sites" shall have the same meaning as set forth in section 103-50, Hawaii Revised Statutes."

     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 2013-2014 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2014-2015 for the department of accounting and general services to coordinate the inventory of public buildings, facilities, and sites.

     The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of accounting and general services for the purposes of this Act.

     SECTION 3.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
