     The purpose of this Act is to establish a position within the state procurement office for the purpose of developing and executing a strategic plan, consistent with the Aloha+ Challenge goals and objectives, for achieving food sustainability in Hawaii through collaboration with all relevant state and federal agencies.

     SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $           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 to fund a one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) position within the state procurement office tasked with developing and executing a strategic plan, consistent with the Aloha+ Challenge goals and objectives, for achieving food sustainability in Hawaii through collaboration with all relevant state and federal agencies.

     The sums appropriated shall be expended by the state procurement office for the purposes of this Act.
