(1) Appropriated to the fund by the legislature; and
(2) Collected by the state fire council from the reduced ignition propensity cigarette program pursuant to section 132C-4.
All interest earned or accrued on moneys deposited in the fund shall become part of the fund."
SECTION 3. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $400,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2012-2013 to be deposited into the reduced ignition propensity cigarette program special fund.
SECTION 4. There is appropriated out of the reduced ignition propensity cigarette program special fund the sum of $400,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2012-2013 for the cost of activities and requirements of section 132C-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, including employing one full-time administrator and one full-time assistant.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the state fire council for the purposes of this Act.
