Bill > HB1191

This bill authorizes the issuance of $307,252,000 in general obligation bonds for capital improvement projects specifically in Hawaii's 43rd Representative District, focusing primarily on Kapolei High School and local transportation infrastructure. For the Department of Education, the bill allocates funding for six distinct projects at Kapolei High School, including replacing stadium light fixtures, constructing a new performing arts auditorium, building a fourteen-classroom integrated academy, re-growing the athletic stadium grass field, installing field turf for softball and baseball fields, and adding a rubberized track. Additionally, the bill provides $200,000,000 to the Department of Transportation for extending Makakilo Drive. The appropriated funds will not lapse until June 30, 2028, giving departments flexibility in project timelines, and the bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025. These improvements aim to enhance educational facilities, support arts and athletics programs, address safety concerns, and improve local transportation infrastructure in the Kapolei area.
