A BILL FOR AN ACT
MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR COUNTY ETHICS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
Providing a one-time grant-in-aid would allow the county ethics boards of Maui, Kauai, Hawaii, and Oahu to hire paid staff who will be responsible for securing, from the respective counties, future ethics board funding. Such a one-time investment by the State would therefore lead to long-term financial stability for the county ethics boards.
Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to encourage the counties to provide greater capacity to county ethics boards or commissions.

revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $

sum appropriated shall be expended by the county of Kauai for the purposes of
this Act.

revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $ or

The sum appropriated shall be expended by the county of Maui for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 4. 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 as a
