Bill Summary
Amends section 266-19.5(d), HRS, for the purpose of increasing the cap for the contract value of any one capital advancement contract (CAC) and the cap for the total aggregate value of CACs in a fiscal year entered into by the Department of Transportation with private parties for harbor improvements. Adds reporting requirements for the department.
AI Summary
This bill amends Hawaii's harbor improvement contracting rules by increasing the maximum value of individual Capital Advancement Contracts (CACs) from $2 million to $5 million and raising the total annual aggregate CAC value from $5 million to $20 million. A Capital Advancement Contract is likely a type of public-private partnership agreement allowing private entities to invest in and improve harbor infrastructure. The bill removes the previous requirement for legislative approval for contracts over $2 million and replaces it with a new reporting mandate, requiring the Department of Transportation to submit an annual report to the legislature detailing all executed CACs within 20 days before the 2026 regular session and subsequent sessions. These changes appear designed to provide the Department of Transportation with more flexibility in executing harbor improvement projects by streamlining the approval process and increasing the financial thresholds for these contracts.
