A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO SCHOOL CAMPUSES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
The legislature recognizes that pursuant to section 302A‑1703(a), Hawaii Revised Statutes, the school facilities authority is "responsible for all public school development, planning, and construction related to capital improvement projects assigned by the legislature, governor, or board of education". This makes the authority the ideal entity to lead efforts to construct and develop housing on department of education campuses. The legislature further finds that the campuses of Lahainaluna high school in West Maui and Kulanihakoi high school in Kihei are well-suited for this purpose, as they already have appropriate infrastructure in place.
The purpose of this Act is to establish and appropriate moneys to the school facilities authority for a pilot program to provide for the planning, design, and construction of on-campus housing for school employees at Lahainaluna and Kulanihakoi high schools on the island of Maui.
SECTION 2. (a) There is established a Maui campus housing pilot program, to be administered by the school facilities authority during the planning, design, and construction of the on-campus housing. The program shall make on-campus housing available to teachers, staff, and administrators employed at Lahainaluna and Kulanihakoi high schools on the island of Maui. The program shall commence on July 1, 2023, and end on June 30, 2029; provided that after construction of the on-campus housing is completed, the Hawaii public housing authority shall administer the program.
(b) No later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular sessions of 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029, the school facilities authority and department of education shall submit to the legislature a joint report, which shall include, at minimum:
(1) Information on the progress of the program;
(2) The funding needs of the program; and
(3) Any proposed legislation, including legislation to establish a permanent program for a wider scope of public school teachers, staff, and administrators.
The school facilities authority shall not be required to participate in submitting the joint report to the legislature the year after the completion of the construction of the on‑campus housing if submission of the joint report is still required at that time.
SECTION 3. 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 2023-2024 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2024-2025 for the establishment and administration of the Maui campus housing pilot program established pursuant to section 2 of this Act.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the school facilities authority for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
