A BILL FOR AN ACT
making an emergency appropriation to the department of transportation.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. This Act is recommended by the governor for immediate passage in accordance with article VII, section 9, of the Hawaii State Constitution.
SECTION 2. The legislature finds that deer overpopulation in the county of Maui has led to a state of emergency. Around fifty thousand axis deer exist in Maui county and as many as five hundred threaten the safety of Kahului airport. With the recent events of deer entering onto the airport runway, in the interest of safety, it is necessary that the State take immediate action to replace the fence to secure the perimeter of the airport.
The purpose of this Act is to make an emergency appropriation to provide funds to replace the perimeter fence around Kahului airport. Without an emergency appropriation, axis deer may continue to enter the airport runway creating a substantial safety risk to airport passengers and operators.
SECTION 3. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $17,000,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2021-2022 to construct a new perimeter fence at Kahului airport (OGG), in Maui county.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of transportation for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
