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

 

     SECTION 1.  The University of Hawaii Maui college's office of international and regional partnerships connects students from Maui and abroad to develop meaningful relationships in an increasingly globalized world.  The office offers study abroad opportunities in Canada, the Czech Republic, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Okinawa, the Philippines, Portugal, and Spain.  Studying abroad helps students gain foreign language skills and cross-cultural competence.  The office of international and regional partnerships also works with the Maui County Sister Cities Foundation to promote economic and educational relationships between the county of Maui and the world.  The office of international and regional partnerships estimates that $           is needed to allow eighteen to twenty students to participate in study abroad programs, based on past travel costs.

     Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds for the University of Hawaii Maui college's office of international and regional partnerships to subsidize travel expenses and tuition for students to study abroad.

     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 2023-2024 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2024-2025 for the study abroad programs offered by the University of Hawaii Maui college's office of international and regional partnerships.
