A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

MAKING AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION TO THE HAWAII COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY.

 

 

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

 


     SECTION 1.  This Act is recommended by the governor for immediate passage in accordance with section 9 of article VII of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii.

     SECTION 2.  Act 49, section 3, Session Laws of Hawaii 2017, appropriated $2,823,358 in revolving funds to the department of business, economic development, and tourism to fund payroll, and administrative costs for the Hawaii community development authority.

     Fringe benefit costs are excluded when appropriated out of the general fund of the State of Hawaii; but fringe benefit costs must be added when revolving funds are used to fund positions.

     Therefore, a critical funding shortage exists and additional revolving funds must be appropriated to cover fringe benefit costs for the Hawaii community development authority to continue to pay its employees through fiscal year 2018-2019.

     The purpose of this Act is to make an emergency appropriation to provide funds for the Hawaii community development authority to cover payroll, fringe benefits, and administrative costs.

     SECTION 3.  The sum of $1,115,853 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2018-2019 for the payroll shall be appropriated out of the Hawaii community development revolving fund, for fringe benefits and administrative costs for the Hawaii community development authority.

     The sum appropriated shall be expended by the Hawaii community development authority for the purposes of this Act.

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