The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of
public safety for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 5. There is appropriated out
of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $136,201 or so much thereof as may be necessary for
fiscal year 2020-2021 for
security costs, overtime and other payroll costs for 10.00 existing FTE deputy
sheriff positions to continue security screening and protocols for the safe travels
Hawaii program.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of
public safety for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 6. Provided that
the governor is authorized to transfer funds appropriated by this Act among all
executive agencies as may be deemed necessary; and provided further that the governor
is authorized to transfer funds in excess of what is needed for the department
of public safety to the governor's contingency fund as deemed necessary by the governor
for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 7. This Act shall take effect upon its approval; provided that all funds appropriated pursuant
to this Act that are unallotted or unencumbered shall lapse as of June 30, 2022.
