Bill Summary
Retroactively requires stipend funds repaid after July 1, 2023, by a stipend recipient under the Hawaii Early Childhood Educator Stipend Program to be deposited into the Early Learning Special Fund. Repeals the Hawaii Early Childhood Educator Special Fund. (SD1)
AI Summary
This bill modifies the Hawaii Early Childhood Educator Stipend Program by retroactively requiring that any stipend funds repaid by program recipients after July 1, 2023, be deposited into the Early Learning Special Fund instead of the previously existing Hawaii Early Childhood Educator Special Fund. The bill repeals the separate Hawaii Early Childhood Educator Special Fund altogether, effectively consolidating these funds. Specifically, the legislation amends Section 302L-9 of Hawaii Revised Statutes to change the language around fund deposits and completely eliminates Section 302L-10, which had established the original special fund. The bill will take effect immediately upon approval, and the changes will apply retroactively to stipend repayments made on or after July 1, 2023. This appears to be an administrative change to streamline the management of funds related to early childhood educator support programs.
