A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the University of Hawaii Maui College, in partnership with local businesses, will be sending its first cohort of "New Sakadas" to leading universities in the Philippines to provide selected students an educational and cultural experience in a nation with the tenth fastest-growing economy in 2017. The University of Hawaii at West Oahu has been exploring opportunities to send enrolled students to universities in Japan, Korea, and China to enhance economic and cultural opportunities for Hawaii residents in those countries and the Asia-Pacific region. With a local population largely made of descendants of plantation workers and immigrants from the Philippines, Japan, China, Korea, and other parts of the Asia-Pacific region, Hawaii's residents should take advantage of these cultural and historic ties for the potential economic benefit of the State. This educational opportunity allows students to become more familiar with these nations and this region and exposes local Hawaii students to these nations in an educational and cultural setting.
The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to the University of Hawaii to fund one or more programs sponsored or organized by the University of Hawaii community colleges or a four-year campus to implement international college experiences for Hawaii students enrolled at a University of Hawaii campus.
SECTION 2. 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 2018-2019 for the University of Hawaii to fund one or more programs sponsored or organized by the University of Hawaii community colleges or a four-year campus to implement international college experiences for Hawaii students enrolled at a University of Hawaii campus.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the University of Hawaii, in collaboration with the department of business, economic development, and tourism, for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION
3. The University of Hawaii shall submit
a report of its findings and recommendations to the legislature no later than
twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session of 2019. The report shall also identify the University
of Hawaii campuses that are participating in one or more of the programs that
are implementing international college experiences for Hawaii students enrolled
at a University of Hawaii campus.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2112.
