AI Summary
This bill appropriates an unspecified amount of money from Hawaii's general revenues as a grant-in-aid to the City and County of Honolulu Department of the Prosecuting Attorney specifically for the Victim Witness Assistance Program. The appropriated funds can be used for program expenses, including hiring additional staff to support the program. The Victim Witness Assistance Program is designed to provide support, resources, and guidance to victims and witnesses involved in criminal proceedings, helping them navigate the legal process and mitigate the emotional and practical challenges associated with being a victim or witness of a crime. The bill specifies that the funds will be expended by the Honolulu Department of the Prosecuting Attorney and is set to take effect on July 1, 3000 (which appears to be a typographical error and likely means July 1, 2024 or 2025).
