BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
PART I
SECTION 1. The purpose of this part is to repeal the Captain Cook memorial fund.
The legislature finds that the fund is no longer necessary. It has had no activity in recent years and a very small balance.
SECTION 2. Section 6E-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"[[]§6E-4[]] Administration.
All state historic areas and buildings surplus to the operations of the department
of accounting and general services shall be transferred by executive order to the
department[, except as provided in section 6E-33]. All state projects and
programs relating to historic preservation shall come under the authority of the
department."
SECTION 3. Section 6E-33, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is repealed.
["[§6E-33] Captain Cook Memorial Fund.
All moneys in the Captain Cook memorial fund or which may be paid into the same
from the proceeds of sales or which may be received by way of gift or otherwise
for any of the purposes provided by this section, the acceptance of such gifts and
the receipt of such funds being authorized, shall be expendable by the comptroller
from time to time for any of the purposes provided by this section, and any original
historical documents or other articles, or copies, facsimiles, or replicas thereof,
so collected, and copies of publications made under this section shall be deposited
in the archives of Hawaii to constitute a collection to be known as the "Captain
Cook Memorial Collection".
The comptroller may purchase or otherwise acquire
original books, mementos, pamphlets, documents, or other articles of historical
value relating to the life of Captain James Cook, or connected with the history,
discovery, and exploration of the Hawaiian Islands, or copies, facsimiles, or replicas
thereof of other data relating thereto, and prepare and publish in the comptroller's
discretion books, documents, pamphlets, or other publications relating thereto.
The comptroller may distribute free copies of
such publications to libraries, museums, and other places of references open to
the public in the United States or in other countries, not to exceed, however, one-third
of the number of copies of each published. The remaining copies may be sold at
such reasonable prices as may be fixed by the comptroller, the proceeds of such
sales to be paid into the trust fund."]
PART II
SECTION 4. The purpose of this part is to repeal the food distribution program revolving fund.
The legislature finds that the revolving fund has no balance or recent activity. Thus, the legislature finds that the revolving fund is not necessary.

["§302A-1315
Food distribution program revolving fund. (a) There is established
the food distribution program revolving fund to be administered by the department.

PART III
SECTION 6. The purpose of this part is to address the public health nursing services special fund, which is the source of funding for the program providing case management services for medically fragile children.
More specifically, this part repeals the special fund, but retains the case management services program.
The legislature finds that the special fund has a relatively low balance and minimal activity. Thus, the legislature finds that the special fund is not necessary.
The legislature believes that case management services for medically fragile children is worthy of continuation. Accordingly, the legislature retains reference to the program in statute and intends that it be provided with general funds.

PART IV
SECTION 9. The purpose of this part is to repeal the blind shop revolving and handicraft fund.
The legislature finds that the revolving fund has a relatively low balance. Thus, the legislature finds that the revolving fund is not necessary.
Although the revolving fund is repealed, this part retains the department of human services' authority to provide the blind workshop and home labor program using other sources of funding to be determined under the executive budget process.
