                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

RELATING TO EDUCATION.



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

 1      SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that schools must have
 
 2 certain basic supplies and equipment to effectively engage
 
 3 students in the educational process.  Among these basics are
 
 4 textbooks and furniture.  The 1998 Hawaii state student
 
 5 conference revealed that textbooks and other learning material
 
 6 are not in adequate supply in the public schools, and in many
 
 7 cases classroom furniture is inadequate.
 
 8      The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds for
 
 9 textbooks, other learning materials, and classroom furniture.
 
10      SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general
 
11 revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $       or so much
 
12 thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 1999-2000 and the sum
 
13 of $      or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year
 
14 2000-2001 for textbooks and other learning materials.
 
15      SECTION 3.  There is appropriated out of the general
 
16 revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $       or so much
 
17 thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 1999-2000 and the sum
 
18 of $      or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year
 
19 2000-2001 for classroom furniture.
