THIRTY-SECOND LEGISLATURE, 2023

H.D. 1

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO THE SCHOOL FACILITIES AUTHORITY.

 

 

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

 

     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that occasionally statutes require clarifying amendments.  While often technical, these amendments can include substantive elements and if they do, should be thoroughly considered.

     The legislature further finds that section 13 of Act 217, Session Laws of Hawaii 2021, replaced the terms "department", "board", or "board of education" with "school facilities authority" in section 302A-1151.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes.  The amended statute, however, contains redundant and confusing references that need clarification.

     The purpose of this Act is to make necessary amendments to clarify certain references to the school facilities authority used in section 302A-1151.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

     SECTION 2.  Section 302A-1151.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended as follows:

     1.  By amending subsection (a) to read:

     "(a)  There shall be established within the school facilities authority a pilot program for the lease of public school land, including facilities.  The school facilities authority, in consultation with [the school facilities authority and] any other appropriate agency, shall serve as the facilitator of the pilot program."

     2.  By amending subsection (d) to read:

     "(d)  Nothing in this section shall preclude the school facilities authority from working with and receiving assistance from any other [school facilities authority] department or agency in carrying out the purposes of this section."

     SECTION 3.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on June 30, 3000.

 

 

Report Title:

School Facilities Authority; References; Clarification

 

Description:

Makes necessary amendments to clarify certain references to the School Facilities Authority used in section 302A-1151.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes.  Effective 6/30/3000.  (HD1)
