A BILL FOR AN ACT

relating to capital improvement projects.

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

SECTION 1. Chapter 27, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to part VII to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

"§27- Capital improvement projects; tracking software. (a) The office of enterprise technology services shall develop or license on behalf of the State, and make available to each department or agency of the State, cloud-based software having the capability to track the status of each capital improvement project of the department or agency, including the total amount of moneys appropriated by the legislature for each capital improvement project, the amounts expended by the department or agency for the capital improvement project, and any unexpended or unencumbered balances thereof.

(b) The office of enterprise technology services shall provide to appropriate personnel of each department or agency of the State training on the use of the software developed or licensed pursuant to subsection (a)."

SECTION 2. Section 103-12, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:

"(b) All executive departments and state agencies that manage their own capital improvement projects shall:

(1) Use timelines that include a comprehensive list of all activities required on a project, and not simply rely on contractor timelines, which may not reflect all project phases. At a minimum, the list shall include all phases in a project's life cycle, namely, the initiation, planning, design, bid, construction, and post construction phases;

(2) Follow state procurement office guidance for tracking payments and deliverables by using a contract administration worksheet that includes milestones or deliverables, which are marked off as items are completed; [and]

(3) To help ensure end-user satisfaction with their capital improvement projects, identify and involve stakeholders throughout a project's execution and closing, including providing information about project costs, schedules, and performance[.]; and

(4) Use the software developed or licensed pursuant to section 27- as instructed by the office of enterprise services."

SECTION 3. In accordance with section 9 of article VII, of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii and sections 37-91 and 37-93, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the legislature has determined that the appropriation contained in this Act 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 the appropriation made in this Act is necessary to serve the public interest and to meet the needs provided for by this Act.

SECTION 4. 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 for the development or licensing of software in accordance with this Act.

The sum appropriated shall be expended by the office of enterprise services for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 5. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
