A BILL FOR AN ACT

MAKING AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION TO THE HAWAII COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY.

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

SECTION 1. This Act is recommended by the governor for immediate passage in accordance with section 9 of article VII of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii.

SECTION 2. Act 49, section 3, Session Laws of Hawaii 2017, appropriated $2,823,358 in revolving funds to the department of business, economic development, and tourism to fund payroll and administrative costs for the Hawaii community development authority.

While appropriations out of the general fund of the State of Hawaii exclude fringe benefit costs, fringe benefit costs must be included if an appropriation from a revolving fund is used to fund positions.

Therefore, a critical funding shortage exists and additional revolving funds must be appropriated to cover fringe benefit costs for the Hawaii community development authority to continue to pay its employees through fiscal year 2018-2019.

The purpose of this Act is to make an emergency appropriation to provide funds for the Hawaii community development authority to cover payroll, fringe benefits, and administrative costs.

SECTION 3. There is appropriated out of the Hawaii community development revolving fund the sum of $600,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2018-2019 for payroll, fringe benefits, and administrative costs of the Hawaii community development authority.

The sum appropriated shall be expended by the Hawaii community development authority for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
