THIRTY-SECOND LEGISLATURE, 2024

H.D. 1

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO PUBLIC SCHOOL LAND TRANSFER.

 

 

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

 

     SECTION 1.  (a)  Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the fee simple interest to land identified by tax map key (4)3-6-002:010 (Wilcox elementary school) with the existing improvements thereon shall be conveyed by the department of education to the county of Kauai as grantee, as is.

     (b)  The department of education shall prepare, execute, and record, in the land court or bureau of conveyances, as appropriate, a quitclaim deed to convey the property identified in subsection (a) with all existing improvements to the county of Kauai as grantee.  As this is a conveyance in which the county of Kauai and the State and its agencies are the only parties, the tax imposed by section 247-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, shall not apply.

     (c)  The county of Kauai shall accept the property in its existing condition.  All claims and liabilities against the department of education, if any, which the county of Kauai has, may have had, or may have in the future, regarding any injury, loss, cost, damage, or liability, including reasonable attorney's fees, concerning the physical, environmental, soil, economic, and legal conditions of the conveyed property, shall be released, waived, and extinguished.

     (d)  Work to initiate the conveyance of the property shall commence no later than December 31, 2024.

     SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $           or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2024-2025 to the department of education to prepare, execute, and record the quitclaim deed required by this Act.

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

     SECTION 3.  In accordance with section 9 of article VII of the Hawaii State Constitution and sections 37‑91 and 37‑93, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the legislature has determined that the appropriations contained in H.B. No.     , will cause the state general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024‑2025 to be exceeded by $           or      per cent.  In addition, the appropriation contained in this Act will cause the general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024‑2025 to be further exceeded by $           or      per cent.  The combined total amount of general fund appropriations contained in only these two Acts will cause the state general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024‑2025 to be exceeded by $           or      per cent.  The reasons for exceeding the general fund expenditure ceiling are that:

     (1)  The appropriation made in this Act is necessary to serve the public interest; and

     (2)  The appropriation made in this Act meets the needs addressed by this Act.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 3000.
