ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Act 1, First Special Session Laws of Hawaii 2017, is amended by amending section 18 to read as follows:
"SECTION
18. Notwithstanding any law, charter provision,
or ordinance to the contrary, in any county with a population greater than five
hundred thousand, in order to ensure the appropriate use of state authorized funds
to finance a locally preferred alternative for a mass transit project, the president
of the senate and speaker of the house of representatives shall each appoint two
non-voting, ex-officio members to the board of directors of the county's rapid transportation
authority[.]; provided that, the non-voting ex-officio members shall not
be counted towards a quorum to which the board is entitled as the number of members
necessary to do business or the number of members necessary to validate any act.
The terms for each member appointed pursuant
to this section shall be determined by the presiding officer who appointed them.
For the purposes of this section, "county rapid transportation authority" means any entity established by a county in the State with a population greater than five hundred thousand for the purpose of constructing, operating, or maintaining a locally preferred alternative for mass transit project and that receives moneys from a surcharge on state tax established pursuant to section 46-16.8, Hawaii Revised Statutes, transient accommodations tax revenues pursuant to section 237D-2(e), Hawaii Revised Statutes, or both."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
