Bill > HB2543

This bill authorizes the director of finance to issue general obligation bonds, which are loans backed by the government, totaling $5,725,000 to fund capital improvement projects specifically for the second representative district in Hawaii. The appropriated funds are designated for fiscal year 2026-2027 and will be used by the department of education to develop a Health Learning Lab at Waiakea High School, which aims to provide students with hands-on experience in a simulated healthcare clinical environment, covering costs for plans, design, construction, and equipment. The bill also specifies that the appropriated money will not expire at the end of the fiscal year but will lapse, meaning it will be canceled, on June 30, 2028, if not fully used, and the Act will become effective on July 1, 2026.
