A BILL FOR AN ACT

SECTION 1. A reliable irrigation system is the lifeblood of Hawaii's agricultural industry. To ensure that Hawaii's farmers receive a steady and dependable supply of water to grow their crops, sufficient funding is needed to maintain and improve Hawaii's agricultural irrigation systems.

(3) Benefit the State through increased tax revenue.
The total amount for these capital improvement projects approximates $16,000,000.
SECTION 2. The director of finance is authorized to issue general obligation bonds in the sum of $ or so much thereof as may be necessary and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary is appropriated for fiscal year 2009-2010 for the purpose of funding capital improvement projects for the repair and maintenance of irrigation systems throughout the State and salaries for additional employees of the agricultural resource management division, as follows:
1. Maui:
(A) West Maui $
(B) Upcountry Maui $
2. Molokai $
3. Hawaii:
(A) Lower Hamakua $
(B) Kau $
4. East Kauai $
5. Waimanalo, Oahu $
SECTION 3. The appropriation made for the capital improvement projects authorized by this Act shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal biennium for which the appropriation is made; provided that all moneys from the appropriation unencumbered as of June 30, 2012, shall lapse as of that date.
SECTION 4. The sums appropriated for the respective capital projects set forth in section 2 shall be expended by the department of agriculture for the purposes of this Act.
