Bill > HB1815

This bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes, Chapter 9, to explicitly apply existing grant standards and conditions to grants awarded under the Performing Arts Grants Program, ensuring that these grants are subject to the same oversight and requirements as other grants from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA). This includes clarifying that applicants for performing arts grants must meet the same qualifying standards, adhere to the same grant conditions, undergo the same review process, and be subject to the same contract and monitoring requirements as other SFCA grant recipients. The bill also clarifies that recipients found to have violated grant terms or misrepresented information will be prohibited from applying for any SFCA grant, including performing arts grants, for five years. The changes are intended to ensure consistent application of grant rules and effective expenditure of public funds, and the bill is set to take effect on July 1, 3000.
