A BILL FOR AN ACT
making an emergency appropriation to the hawaii health systems corporation.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. This Act is recommended by the governor for immediate passage in accordance with article VII, section 9, of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii.
SECTION 2. During the 2014 regular session, the Hawaii health systems corporation requested $150,000,000 in general fund appropriations for fiscal year 2015; however, the legislature appropriated approximately $102,000,000. The difference of $48,000,000 was due to underfunding of collective bargaining pay raises negotiated by the administration on the Hawaii health systems corporation's behalf.
Without an emergency appropriation, Hawaii health systems corporation health care operations will be severely impacted, an impact that will place the health care of the residents and visitors of the State in jeopardy.
The purpose of this Act is to make an emergency appropriation to provide funds for the functions of the Hawaii health systems corporation and its regions.
SECTION 3. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $48,000,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2015-2016 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2016-2017 for the functions of the Hawaii health systems corporation and its regions.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the Hawaii health systems corporation for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
