A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO PROCUREMENT.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that in this period of high economic turmoil, procedural changes are necessary to enable the State to achieve a quick recovery and to provide effective economic stimulation.
The legislature further finds that certain provisions of Hawaii's public procurement process are inefficient and antiquated. Procedures require protracted periods of time between each procurement step. Currently, the awarding of a contract is subject to prolonged review, thereby preventing government projects from proceeding in a timely manner. The legislature finds that this Act is necessary to promote and expedite construction projects that are subject to an overly long review schedule.
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 132 S.D. 1 (2009) established a task force to determine the economic contributions of the construction industry in Hawaii. As directed in the concurrent resolution, the task force has developed a series of proposals for state actions to preserve and create new jobs in the local construction industry. The intent of this Act is to implement one of the task force's proposals.
Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to amend chapter 103D, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to require all state agencies to finalize contract certification with the department of accounting and general services within sixty days.
SECTION 2. Section 103D-318, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"[[]§103D-318[]]
Finality of determinations[.]; certification of contracts.
(a) The determinations required by sections 103D-302(g), 103D-303(a),
103D-303(g), 103D-306, 103D-307, 103D-310, 103D-312(c), 103D-313, and 103D-314
shall be final and conclusive unless they are clearly erroneous, arbitrary,
capricious, or contrary to law.
(b) Notwithstanding any other statute relating to procurement or Hawaii administrative rule, all state agencies shall finalize and certify contracts with the department of accounting and general services within sixty days of a contract being awarded."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
