A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO FUNDING ADJUSTMENTS FOR STATE PROGRAMS.
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. In prior years, the respective budget acts contained budget special provisions similar to sections 50, 51, 72, and 81 of Act 88, Session Laws of Hawaii 2021, the General Appropriations Act of 2021, which permitted departments to transfer funds between their projects; permitted departments to transfer funds between their programs, provided that the legislature was informed of the transfers; and established a protocol fund as a separate account to be expended at the discretion of the executive head of departments or agencies. However, Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, the General Appropriations Act of 2023, (Act 164), as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024, does not include the special provisions. Consequently, although funds were appropriated to various state departments for their capital improvement program projects for fiscal biennium 2023–2025, the omission of the special provisions has caused operational limitations by limiting the ability of departments to supplement allotments and transfer funds between projects to address changing conditions.
PART II
SECTION 3. The purpose of this part is to address the omission of the special provisions that authorize supplemental allotments and transfer of unrequired balances for capital improvement program projects and that also establish a protocol fund as a separate account to be expended at the discretion of the executive head of departments in Act 164.
SECTION 4. Part VII of Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by adding a new section to read as follows:
"SECTION 15.2. If the authorized appropriations specified for capital improvement projects listed in this Act are insufficient and where the source of funding is designated as special funds, general obligation bond fund with debt service cost to be paid from special funds, revenue bond funds, or revolving funds, the governor may make supplemental allotments from the special fund or revolving fund responsible for cash or debt service payments for the projects or transfer unrequired balances from other unlapsed projects in this Act or prior appropriation acts that authorized the use of special funds, general obligation bond fund with debt service costs to be paid from special funds, revenue bond funds, or revolving funds; provided that the supplemental allotments shall not be used to increase the scope of the project; provided further that the supplemental allotments shall not impair the ability of the fund to meet the purposes for which it was established."
SECTION 5. Part VII of Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by adding a new section to read as follows:
"SECTION 15.3. If the authorized appropriations specified for capital improvement projects listed in this Act are insufficient and where the source of funding is designated as airport passenger facility charge funds, the governor may make supplemental allotments from the airport revenue fund or airport revenue bond funds, or transfer unrequired balances from other unlapsed projects in this Act or prior appropriation acts that authorized the use of airport passenger facility charge funds; provided that the supplemental allotments shall not be used to increase the scope of the project; provided further that the supplemental allotments shall not impair the ability of the fund to meet the purposes for which it was established; provided further that the governor, at the governor's discretion, may increase the passenger facility charge fund authorization ceiling for the program to accommodate the expenditure of the funds."
SECTION 6. Part VII of Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by adding a new section to read as follows:
"SECTION 15.4. Of the respective operating appropriation authorized in part II of this Act for each principal state department as defined by section 26-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the sum of $7,000 in fiscal year 2024-2025 shall be made available in each department to be established as a separate account for a protocol fund to be expended at the discretion of the executive head of the department (i.e., director, chairperson, comptroller, adjutant general, superintendent, president, or attorney general)."
PART III
SECTION 7. The purpose of this part is to address the omission of the transfer proviso by appropriating additional general funds as emergency appropriations for fiscal year 2024‑2025 for operating shortfalls in fourth quarter funding for existing programs and to adjust funding for various programs to be commensurate with their anticipated levels of activity. The emergency appropriations and the funding adjustments made in this part are budget neutral.
SECTION 8. Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by amending section 3, item I.4 to read as follows:
"4. PSD405 - HAWAII COMMUNITY CORRECTIONAL CENTER

A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO FUNDING ADJUSTMENTS FOR STATE PROGRAMS.
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. In prior years, the respective budget acts contained budget special provisions similar to sections 50, 51, 72, and 81 of Act 88, Session Laws of Hawaii 2021, the General Appropriations Act of 2021, which permitted departments to transfer funds between their projects; permitted departments to transfer funds between their programs, provided that the legislature was informed of the transfers; and established a protocol fund as a separate account to be expended at the discretion of the executive head of departments or agencies. However, Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, the General Appropriations Act of 2023, (Act 164), as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024, does not include the special provisions. Consequently, although funds were appropriated to various state departments for their capital improvement program projects for fiscal biennium 2023–2025, the omission of the special provisions has caused operational limitations by limiting the ability of departments to supplement allotments and transfer funds between projects to address changing conditions.
PART II
SECTION 3. The purpose of this part is to address the omission of the special provisions that authorize supplemental allotments and transfer of unrequired balances for capital improvement program projects and that also establish a protocol fund as a separate account to be expended at the discretion of the executive head of departments in Act 164.
SECTION 4. Part VII of Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by adding a new section to read as follows:
"SECTION 15.2. If the authorized appropriations specified for capital improvement projects listed in this Act are insufficient and where the source of funding is designated as special funds, general obligation bond fund with debt service cost to be paid from special funds, revenue bond funds, or revolving funds, the governor may make supplemental allotments from the special fund or revolving fund responsible for cash or debt service payments for the projects or transfer unrequired balances from other unlapsed projects in this Act or prior appropriation acts that authorized the use of special funds, general obligation bond fund with debt service costs to be paid from special funds, revenue bond funds, or revolving funds; provided that the supplemental allotments shall not be used to increase the scope of the project; provided further that the supplemental allotments shall not impair the ability of the fund to meet the purposes for which it was established."
SECTION 5. Part VII of Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by adding a new section to read as follows:
"SECTION 15.3. If the authorized appropriations specified for capital improvement projects listed in this Act are insufficient and where the source of funding is designated as airport passenger facility charge funds, the governor may make supplemental allotments from the airport revenue fund or airport revenue bond funds, or transfer unrequired balances from other unlapsed projects in this Act or prior appropriation acts that authorized the use of airport passenger facility charge funds; provided that the supplemental allotments shall not be used to increase the scope of the project; provided further that the supplemental allotments shall not impair the ability of the fund to meet the purposes for which it was established; provided further that the governor, at the governor's discretion, may increase the passenger facility charge fund authorization ceiling for the program to accommodate the expenditure of the funds."
SECTION 6. Part VII of Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by adding a new section to read as follows:
"SECTION 15.4. Of the respective operating appropriation authorized in part II of this Act for each principal state department as defined by section 26-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the sum of $7,000 in fiscal year 2024-2025 shall be made available in each department to be established as a separate account for a protocol fund to be expended at the discretion of the executive head of the department (i.e., director, chairperson, comptroller, adjutant general, superintendent, president, or attorney general)."
PART III
SECTION 7. The purpose of this part is to address the omission of the transfer proviso by appropriating additional general funds as emergency appropriations for fiscal year 2024-2025 for operating shortfalls in quarter 4 funding for existing programs and to adjust funding for various programs to be commensurate with their anticipated levels of activity. The emergency appropriations and the funding adjustments made in this part are budget neutral.
SECTION 8. Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by amending section 3, item I.4 to read as follows:
"4. PSD405 - HAWAII COMMUNITY CORRECTIONAL CENTER
193.00* 193.00*
OPERATING PSD 14,730,758A [15,220,198A]

SECTION 9. Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by amending section 3, item I.5 to read as follows:
"5. PSD406 - MAUI COMMUNITY CORRECTIONAL CENTER

SECTION 10. Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by amending section 3, item I.6 to read as follows:
501.00* 500.00*
OPERATING PSD 40,621,493A [42,708,191A]
44,958,191A"
SECTION 11. Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by amending section 3, item I.8 to read as follows:
270.00* 269.00*
OPERATING PSD 15,860,044A [21,010,058A]
18,760,058A"
PART IV
SECTION 12. Part VIII of Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, is amended by adding two new sections to read as follows:
"SECTION 22.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if unanticipated federal funding cutbacks diminish or curtail essential, federally funded state programs, the governor may utilize savings as may be determined to be available from other state programs for the purpose of maintaining such programs until the next legislative session.
SECTION 22.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if unanticipated federal funding cutbacks diminish or curtail essential, federally funded state programs, the governor may utilize available funds from any other means of financing for the purpose of covering payroll and fringe benefit expenses of federally funded state employees."
PART V
SECTION 13. If any portion of this Act or its application to any person, entity, or circumstance is held to be invalid for any reason, then the legislature declares that the remainder of the Act and each and every other provision thereof shall not be affected thereby. If any portion of a specific appropriation is held to be invalid for any reason, the remaining portion shall be expended to fulfill the objective of such appropriation to the extent possible.
SECTION 14. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 15. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 3000.

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to:

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

(3) Transferring an amount in excess of the requirements of the State Educational Facilities Improvement Special Fund, repealed by Act 72, Session Laws of Hawaii 2020, to the general fund;
(4) Changing the effective date to June 29, 2025; and
(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1153, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1153, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.

RE: H.B. No. 1153
H.D. 1
S.D. 2
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1153, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FUNDING ADJUSTMENTS FOR STATE PROGRAMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to facilitate the funding of state governmental operations.
Specifically, the measure:
(1) Authorizes supplemental allotments and transfers of unrequired balances for capital improvement program projects and establishes a protocol fund with a cap of $7,000 for each state principal department;
(2) Makes emergency appropriations and commensurate reductions to pay for anticipated operating shortfalls in the fourth quarter due to the limited ability to transfer funds between programs; and
(3) Authorizes the Governor to use program savings and available funds for the purpose of temporarily maintaining critical federally funded state programs and positions.
Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Budget and Finance, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Department of Transportation, and Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.
Your Committee received written comments on this measure from the Department of the Attorney General.
Your Committee finds that certain special provisions were missing from the General Appropriations Act of 2023, Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, (Act 164) as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024. Your Committee recognizes that this measure addresses these omissions by inserting those special provisions into Act 164. Specifically, the special provisions:
(1) Authorize supplemental allotments and transfers of unrequired balances for capital improvement projects;
(2) Authorize a protocol fund as a separate account to be expended at the discretion of the executive head of each department; and
(3) Provide flexibility to departments to overcome budgetary shortfalls to efficiently execute their duties and provide services to the public.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Authorizing transfers to the general fund of the excess balances of various non-general funds from various state departments and agencies, to take effect on June 29, 2025; and
(2) Appropriating unspecified moneys to the Office of the Governor for expenses and one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) staff position.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1153, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1153, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,

Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: H.B. No. 1153
H.D. 1
S.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Government Operations, to which was referred H.B. No. 1153, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FUNDING ADJUSTMENTS FOR STATE PROGRAMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize supplemental allotments and transfers of unrequired balances for capital improvement program projects and establish a protocol fund with a cap of $7,000 for each state principal department.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Budget and Finance, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and Department of Transportation.
Your Committee finds that the General Appropriations Act of 2023, Act 164, Session Laws of Hawaii 2023, (Act 164) as amended by Act 230, Session Laws of Hawaii 2024, omitted critical special budget provisions. These special provisions authorize supplemental allotments and transfers of unrequired balances for capital improvement projects. The special provisions also authorize a protocol fund as a separate account to be expended at the discretion of the executive head of each department. These special provisions provide the flexibility necessary for departments to overcome budgetary shortfalls to efficiently execute their duties and provide services to the public. This measure rectifies the omission of the special provisions by adding them to Act 164.
Your Committee acknowledges the concerns raised in testimony that the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation requires emergency appropriations to maintain certain community correctional centers due to anticipated budgetary shortfalls in the fourth quarter caused by the omission of the special provisos, which limited the Department's ability to transfer funds between programs. Your Committee further notes the concerns raised by the Department of Budget and Finance that additional special provisions are now necessary to address any unanticipated cutbacks due to the federal budget reconciliation process or federal funding program reviews currently underway. Therefore, this measure needs to be amended to address these issues.
Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Inserting language that makes emergency appropriations to the Hawaii Community Correctional Center and Oahu Community Correctional Center and makes commensurate reductions to the Maui Community Correctional Center and Women's Community Correctional Center to pay for anticipated operating shortfalls in the fourth quarter;
(2) Inserting language that authorizes the Governor to use program savings and available funds for the purpose of temporarily maintaining critical federally funded state programs and positions; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1153, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1153, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Government Operations,

RE: H.B. No. 1153
H.D. 1
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1153 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FUNDING ADJUSTMENTS FOR STATE PROGRAMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Address the omission of the budget special provisions that authorize supplemental allotments and transfer of unrequired balances for capital improvement program projects; and
(2) Establish a protocol fund for each principal state department as a separate account, with a cap of $7,000, to be expended at the discretion of the executive head of the department.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.
Your Committee finds that various state departments have had operational challenges supplementing allotments of funds appropriated for capital improvement projects for fiscal biennium 2023-2025 and transferring these appropriated funds between projects to address changing conditions. Your Committee further finds that although previous executive budget and supplemental budget bills have sometimes allowed departments to transfer funds between their projects and established protocol funds to be expended at the discretion of the executive heads of departments or agencies, the executive budget and supplemental budget bills for fiscal biennium 2023-2025 did not. This measure amends those budget bills to authorize the Governor to make supplemental allotments and transfer unrequired balances for capital improvement projects, and increases the cap on each principal department's protocol fund from $2,500 to $7,000, to allow departments to adapt to changing conditions as they undertake capital improvement projects.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1153, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1153, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
