SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $_____________ or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2013-2014 to support and expand the University of Hawaii clinical psychology program and the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide a specialty program that trains students in the treatment of underserved populations.

SECTION 5. The sums appropriated shall be expended by the University of Hawaii for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 6. For the purposes of this Act, the University of Hawaii shall solicit and accept grants and donations from public and private sources, including maximizing the use of federal grants and matching funds.
