Bill > HB791

This bill makes a technical amendment to the definition of "state funds" in Section 37-54 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, changing the language from "state funds mean" to "state funds means" and clarifying that it refers to moneys that have come into the possession of a state officer or employee who has the initial responsibility for the custody, accountability, and disposition of those moneys. The amendment appears to be a grammatical and linguistic clarification to provide more precise language about how state funds are defined, ensuring that there is a clear understanding of who is responsible for managing state funds when they are first received. The bill will take effect immediately upon approval, and it makes no substantive changes to the underlying policy or practice regarding state funds.
