Bill > SB1105

This bill authorizes the state of Hawaii to issue $28,840,000 in general obligation bonds (government-issued debt) for fiscal year 2025-2026 specifically to fund construction defect remediation at the Hawaii State Hospital. Additionally, the bill establishes a new full-time equivalent (FTE) building manager position, appropriating $70,000 for the position across two fiscal years (2025-2026 and 2026-2027). The building manager will be subject to standard state civil service rules under chapter 76 of Hawaii Revised Statutes. The appropriated funds for the capital improvement project will not lapse (expire) at the end of the typical fiscal biennium, but any unencumbered funds will lapse on June 30, 2028. The Department of Health will be responsible for expending both the bond funds for hospital repairs and the funds for the new building manager position. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, marking the start of the specified fiscal year.
