Bill > HB1030

This bill provides funding appropriations for collective bargaining cost items for Bargaining Unit (4), which typically represents professional and technical employees in the state of Hawaii, for the fiscal biennium of 2025-2027. The bill allocates funds from various sources including general funds, special funds, federal funds, trust funds, and revolving funds across different state departments and agencies. Specifically, the bill appropriates funds for salary adjustments negotiated between the state and the bargaining unit representative, with detailed allocations for entities such as the Department of Education, Judiciary Administration, Hawaii Health Systems Corporation, and health premium payments. The funding covers not only the employees within Bargaining Unit (4) but also their excluded counterparts who are on similar compensation plans. The bill ensures that salary increases and cost adjustments will be paid proportionally from the respective funding sources, and any funds not expended or encumbered by the end of each fiscal year (June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027) will lapse. The total appropriations range from approximately $1.6 million to $3.7 million across different funding categories for each fiscal year, with the majority coming from general funds. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
