              (i)  Personal services for 1.00 permanent district family court judge, 2.00 permanent circuit court clerk II positions, and 1.00 permanent court bailiff II position, all of which were established before January 1, 2016, and fall under the position ceiling under part II for the first circuit (JUD310);

             (ii)  Other current expenses; and

             (iii)  Equipment;

         (B)  For the district court of the second circuit, if another act is enacted to authorize a fourth district court judge for the second circuit:

             (ii)  Other current expenses; and

              For the purpose of this subparagraph, "another act" means an act other than Act 138, Session Laws of Hawaii 2015, as amended by this Act; or

              (i)  Personal services for 1.00 permanent family court judge, 2.00 permanent circuit court clerk II positions, and 1.00 permanent bailiff II position;

     (3)  If the chief justice decides to expend the $330,000 general fund appropriation of paragraph (1) for the district court of the second circuit, the chief justice shall:

         (A)  Transfer the general fund appropriation to the second circuit (JUD320) and expend the transferred appropriation for the purpose specified under paragraph (1)(B) for fiscal year 2016-2017; and

         (B)  Establish for fiscal year 2016-2017 the permanent positions listed in paragraph (1)(B), notwithstanding the position ceiling under part II for the second circuit (JUD320).

     (4)  If the chief justice decides to expend the $330,000 general fund appropriation of paragraph (1) for the family court of the fifth circuit, the chief justice shall:

         (A)  Transfer the general fund appropriation to the fifth circuit (JUD350) and expend the transferred appropriation for the purpose specified under paragraph (1)(C) for fiscal year 2016-2017; and

         (B)  Establish for fiscal year 2016-2017 the permanent positions listed in paragraph (1)(C), notwithstanding the position ceiling under part II for the fifth circuit (JUD350).

     (5)  The chief justice shall notify the legislature of the purpose for which the $330,000 general fund appropriation under paragraph (1) will be expended, within ten days after commencing the expenditure."

     (2)  By amending section 4 to read:

     (3)  By amending section 7 to read:

     "SECTION 7.  Provided that of the general funds appropriated for administration (JUD601), the sum of $600,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2015-2016 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2016-2017 shall be expended for purchase of service contracts for civil legal services; provided further that the administrative director of the courts shall submit to the legislature by February 1, 2016, a report listing the purchase of service contracts entered into from July 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015, the purpose of the contracts, and contract award amounts; and provided further that the administrative director of the courts at least twenty days prior to the convening of the regular sessions of 2016 and 2017, shall submit to the legislature a report listing[:] the following:  the purchase of service contracts entered into in the immediately preceding fiscal year; the purpose of the contracts; the contract award amounts; expenditures and encumbrances under the contracts; and program measures achieved by the contractors."

     SECTION 5.  If any portion of this Act or its application to any person or circumstances is held to be invalid for any reason, the remainder of the Act and any provision thereof shall not be affected.  If any portion of a specific appropriation is held to be invalid for any reason, the remaining portion shall be independent of the invalid portion and shall be expended to fulfill the objective and intent of the appropriation to the extent possible.

     SECTION 6.  If any manifest clerical, typographical, or other mechanical error is found in this Act, the chief justice is authorized to correct the error.  All changes made pursuant to this section shall be reported to the legislature at its next regular session.

     SECTION 7.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.  New statutory material is underscored.
