STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO APPROPRIATIONS MADE OUT OF THE EMERGENCY AND BUDGET RESERVE FUND PURSUANT TO ACT 191, SESSION LAWS OF HAWAII 2010.

 

 

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 section 9 of article VII of the Hawaii State Constitution.

     SECTION 2.  The purpose of this Act is to amend Act 191, Session Laws of Hawaii 2010, which appropriated moneys from the emergency and budget reserve fund to maintain the levels of programs determined to be essential to education, public health, and public welfare for fiscal year 2010-2011.

     The existing language of certain Act 191's appropriations makes it difficult to carry out the legislature's intention of awarding moneys to specific organizations.  This Act provides technical corrections to Act 191 to permit the awarding of moneys to specified organizations and extends the lapse date of Act 191's appropriations from June 30, 2011, to June 30, 2012.  The Act also restores adult dental care formerly granted under program ID HMS 245 – QUEST health care payments to the Hawaii Primary Care Association and appropriates funds to the Maui Community College, University of Hawaii for adult dental care.
