Bill > HB1326

This bill authorizes the director of finance to issue $30 million in general obligation bonds for capital improvement projects in Hawaii's Fourteenth Representative District during fiscal year 2025-2026. The bill specifically allocates funds for three major projects: First, $6 million for Ma'alaea Small Boat Harbor Dredging, which includes design and construction work to dredge the harbor basin and entrance channel, to be managed by the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Second, $4 million for Lahaina Small Boat Harbor water system and pavement repairs, involving design and construction to restore the harbor's water system and resurface asphalt pavement, also to be managed by the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Third, $20 million for the Lahaina Bypass extension north from Keawe Street, to be managed by the Department of Transportation. The bill specifies that these appropriations will not lapse at the end of the fiscal year but will expire on June 30, 2028, if funds remain unencumbered, and the bill will take effect on July 1, 2025.
