A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 103D-307, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§103D-307 Emergency procurements. (a) The head of a purchasing agency may obtain a good, service, or construction essential to meet an emergency by means other than specified in this chapter when the following conditions exist:
(1) A situation of an
unusual or compelling urgency creates a threat to life, public health, welfare,
or safety by reason of major natural disaster, epidemic, riot, fire, or
similar events and to a lesser extent, by reason of equipment failures, repairs
to public property in order to protect against further loss of, or damage to,
public property, or to prevent or minimize serious disruption in continued
functioning of government services, or such other reason as may be determined
by the head of that purchasing agency;
(2) The emergency
condition generates an immediate and serious need for goods, services, or
construction that cannot be met through normal procurement methods and the
government would be seriously injured if the purchasing agency is not permitted
to employ the means it proposes to use to obtain the goods, services or
construction; and
(3) Without
the needed good, service, or construction, the continued functioning of
government, the preservation or protection of irreplaceable property, or the
health and safety of any person will be seriously threatened.
(b) The emergency procurement shall be made with
such competition as is practicable under the circumstances [and, where
practicable, approval from the chief procurement officer shall be obtained
prior to the procurement]. A written
determination of the basis for the emergency and for the selection of the
particular contractor shall be included in the contract file.
(c) The head of the purchasing agency that makes
an emergency procurement in response to:
(1) A threat to
life;
(2) Significant
impact to ensure public access, caused by an unexpected of major natural
disaster, epidemic, riot, fire; or
(3) Minimize
serious disruption in continued functioning of government services,
shall account for details of the emergency, response, and money spent in making the procurement and report on the accounting of the procurement to the legislature within days after the procurement was made."
SECTION 2. This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before its effective date.
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on January 1, 2050.
