Bill > SB3295

This bill authorizes the director of finance to issue general obligation bonds, which are loans backed by the government, to raise $350,000 for capital improvement projects in Hawaii's fourth senatorial district. Specifically, these funds are designated for the "Equitable and Sustainable Water Access Project," which includes the plans and design for a new water distribution system connection to the Puu Pulehu and Waimea reservoirs managed by the department of agriculture and biosecurity. The appropriation is for the fiscal year 2026-2027, and any unspent money will lapse, meaning it will be returned to the state, on June 30, 2028, unless it has already been committed to a project. The department of Hawaiian home lands will be responsible for spending these funds, and the Act will become effective on July 1, 2026.
