Bill Summary
Requires that real property leases between state government entities cost no more than $1 per year.
AI Summary
This bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes, Chapter 171, to establish a new section regarding leases between state government entities. Specifically, it mandates that any real property leased by one state entity to another state entity must cost no more than $1 per year. This provision applies only if the entity receiving the lease (the lessee) uses the property in a way that aligns with its official mission and does not sublease the property to any other party. The bill also clarifies that a "State entity" is defined as it is in section 27-46 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, which generally refers to various government departments, agencies, and public corporations within the state.
