Bill > HB592

This bill authorizes the director of finance to issue $43,100,000 in general obligation bonds for capital improvement projects specifically for schools in Hawaii's thirty-first representative district during fiscal year 2025-2026. The projects include multiple improvements at six different schools, all managed by the Department of Education: Admiral Arthur W. Radford high school will receive funding for electrical upgrades, replacement of portable classrooms, and artificial turf for practice and baseball fields; Moanalua elementary school will complete a multi-purpose innovation center; Moanalua high school will construct a new weight room and athletic training room; Moanalua middle school will upgrade campus-wide electrical systems; and Salt Lake elementary school will install air conditioning in specific classrooms. The bill specifies that the appropriated funds will not lapse at the end of the fiscal year but will expire on June 30, 2028, if unencumbered, and the act will take effect on July 1, 2025. The detailed breakdown shows allocations for plans, design, construction, and equipment for each project, totaling $43,100,000 across these six educational facilities.
