A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO THE PESTICIDE USE REVOLVING FUND.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 

     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that there are state laws that regulate pesticides and a pesticide use revolving fund that is administered by the department of agriculture to support the pesticide program's registration and licensing, certification and education, and compliance monitoring activities.  The legislature further finds that providing an increased balance threshold in the pesticide use revolving fund will allow the department of agriculture to maintain consistent funding in the State's efforts to provide pesticide regulation with informed and educated studies.

     The purpose of this Act is to increase the pesticide use revolving fund balance threshold amount in order to allow the department to have funds available to carry out its mandate in section 149A-13.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

     SECTION 2.  Section 149A-13.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (e) to read as follows:

     "(e)  All unobligated, unencumbered, or unexpended funds remaining in the fund in excess of [$250,000] $1,000,000 at the close of each fiscal year shall lapse to the state general fund."

     SECTION 3.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2045.
