AI Summary

This bill appropriates funds for grants to participants in the 2017 and 2018 Hawaii Annual Code Challenge to develop their proof of concepts into prototypes suitable for government, corporate, or consumer use. The High Technology Development Corporation (HTDC) will manage the grant program, requiring that all applications developed be made open source and that grant recipients obtain at least 50% of the funding from non-government sources. The HTDC is also authorized to use some of the appropriated funds to manage the prototype implementation process and execute an adoption plan for the projects.
