BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Chapter 103F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding two new sections to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

to the provider for services rendered before expending state moneys.
(c) The
department of health, department of human services, or other purchasing agency,
as applicable, shall monitor contracts to ensure compliance with this section. If the purchasing agency, department of health,

spent state moneys in violation of this section, the provider shall forfeit and
repay those moneys to the purchasing agency. The expending agency, attorney general, or other
agency may take action to recover the expended moneys.
§103F- Medicaid provider preference; awarding of contracts. (a)
A purchasing agency soliciting proposals
for a competitive purchase of services contract pursuant to section 103F-402
shall give a preference to an applicant that is a qualified medicaid provider in
the State.
(b) If
two competing applicants that submit proposals for the same purchase of services
contract pursuant to section 103F‑402 are otherwise equivalent, the purchasing
agency shall select the applicant who is a qualified medicaid provider.
(c) An
applicant that is not a qualified medicaid provider at the time the contract is
awarded shall have up to one year after the date on the notice of award to apply
and be qualified as a medicaid provider by the department of human services.
(d) When
applicable, the department of health shall make available to each provider being
awarded a contract an explanation, through a memorandum of understanding, of how
the provider may capture federal medicaid moneys."
SECTION 2. Section 103F-402, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) The request shall state all criteria which will be used to evaluate proposals, including the preferences pursuant to section 103F- , and the relative importance of the proposal evaluation criteria."
SECTION 3. This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before its effective date.

SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
