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

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds and declares that the issuance of general obligation bonds under this Act is in the public interest and for the public health, safety, and general welfare of the State.

     Palolo Chinese Home is a private non-profit organization established over one hundred ten years ago on Oahu.  Initially a private care home, Palolo Chinese Home has expanded its services to provide nutritional outreach services (Meals on Wheels), adult day care, and overnight respite care to deliver needed community-based services to the elderly on Oahu.  In response to Hawaii's rapidly growing elderly population, Palolo Chinese Home has embarked on a project to renovate its facilities in order to expand its programs and services to those in need.

     The purpose of this Act is to provide funding to Palolo Chinese Home for the expansion, construction, and rebuilding of its facilities by authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds.

     SECTION 2.  The director of finance is authorized to issue general obligation bonds in the sum of $1,000,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary is appropriated for fiscal year 2011-2012 for a grant pursuant to chapter 42F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to assist the Palolo Chinese Home with the expansion, construction, and rebuilding of its facilities.

     The general obligation bonds issued under this Act shall be issued pursuant to part I, chapter 39, Hawaii Revised Statues, relating to the power to issue general obligation bonds.

     The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of human services for the purposes of this Act.

     SECTION 3.  The appropriation made for the capital improvement project authorized by this Act shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal biennium for which the appropriation is made; provided that all moneys from the appropriation that are unencumbered as of June 30, 2014, shall lapse as of that date.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2011.
