Bill > HB564

This bill authorizes the director of finance to issue $72,844,100 in general obligation bonds for capital improvement projects in Hawaii's 32nd representative district, specifically targeting various schools on Oahu. The projects include multiple infrastructure and facility upgrades across twelve different schools, such as reroofing, fire alarm system replacements, climate control installations, drainage improvements, and construction of new facilities like a culinary program, multipurpose innovation center, and athletic facilities. For instance, at Aiea High School, the bill allocates funds for a new culinary program, multipurpose room, building renovations, and fire alarm system replacement, totaling approximately $19.3 million. The appropriated funds will not lapse at the end of the fiscal year and must be fully expended or encumbered by June 30, 2028, with the Department of Education responsible for managing these projects. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to improve educational infrastructure and facilities in the specified school district.
