Bill > HB1223

This bill authorizes the director of finance to issue $113,914,843.20 in general obligation bonds for capital improvement projects specifically for schools in the 38th representative district on Oahu for fiscal year 2025-2026. The projects are detailed across seven schools: Kipapa Elementary, Mililani High School, Mililani Ike Elementary, Mililani Waena, Mililani Mauka Elementary, Mililani Middle School, and Mililani Uka Elementary. The improvements include a wide range of infrastructure and facility upgrades such as constructing new buildings (like a career and technical education building and performing arts center at Mililani High School), replacing fire alarm systems, repairing parking lots and driveways, installing ceiling fans, repainting exteriors, improving playgrounds, replacing irrigation systems, and upgrading air conditioning equipment. The bill specifies that the appropriated funds will not lapse at the end of the fiscal year but will expire on June 30, 2028, if unencumbered, and that the Department of Education will be responsible for executing these projects. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
