Bill > HB1448

This bill authorizes the director of finance to issue general obligation bonds totaling $64,915,000 for capital improvement projects in Hawaii's nineteenth representative district, primarily focusing on educational facilities and a public library. The projects include various improvements at Aina Haina Elementary School (such as safety fencing, air conditioning, parking lot paving, electrical upgrades, and a new multipurpose office), renovations at Kaimuki Middle School (restroom repairs and locker room refurbishments), upgrades to the Aina Haina Library (landscaping and ADA restroom maintenance), and multiple significant projects at Kaiser High School (a performing arts complex, swimming pool stadium modernization, erosion control, bleacher hand railings, and weightroom expansion). Each project has a specific funding allocation, with most projects to be executed by the Department of Education and two library projects to be handled by the Hawaii State Public Library System. The bill stipulates that the appropriated funds will not lapse at the end of the fiscal year but will expire on June 30, 2028, if unencumbered, and the bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
