Bill > HB1909

This bill requires the Governor to include a recommended budget for deferred repair and maintenance, which refers to necessary upkeep and fixes that have been postponed, and capital improvements, meaning significant upgrades or new construction, on existing state-owned buildings and infrastructure as part of the regular budget and any supplemental budget submissions. Furthermore, any funds specifically authorized by the legislature for these repair and maintenance and capital improvement projects will be exempt from certain existing budget control sections, specifically sections 37-31 to 37-41 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, which likely govern how state funds are managed and allocated.
