THE SENATE	S.B. NO.	2815
TWENTY-SEVENTH LEGISLATURE, 2014
STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO THE STATE BUDGET.

 

 

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

 

     SECTION 1.  This Act shall be known and may be cited as the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2014.

     SECTION 2.  This Act amends Act 134, Session Laws of Hawaii 2013, and other appropriations and authorizations effective during fiscal biennium 2013‑2015.

     SECTION 3.  The general fund appropriations included in this measure have been made in accordance with the statutorily defined appropriation ceiling for the executive branch pursuant to section 37‑92 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes.  Including appropriations made up to and including the regular and special sessions of 2013, the executive branch appropriation ceiling for fiscal year 2013‑2014 had already been exceeded by $385,205,549 or 6.5 per cent.  For fiscal year 2014‑2015, there is a margin of $220,757,765 between the executive branch appropriation ceiling and currently authorized appropriations.

     With a decrease of general fund appropriations of ‑$53,151,500 for fiscal year 2013‑2014 and an increase of general fund appropriations of $470,361,342 for fiscal year 2014‑2015 proposed in this measure to fund operating and capital improvement costs of the executive branch, the appropriation ceiling for the executive branch will be exceeded by $332,054,049 or 5.6 per cent in fiscal year 2013‑2014 and $304,982,041 or 4.7 per cent in fiscal year 2014‑2015.  This current declaration takes into account revisions to general fund appropriations authorized for fiscal years 2013‑2014 and 2014‑2015 in this measure only, and does not include other general fund appropriations for fiscal years 2013‑2014 and 2014‑2015 that may be authorized for the executive branch in other legislation submitted to the legislature during the regular session of 2014.

     The reasons for exceeding the executive branch appropriation ceiling are the substantial costs of social assistance entitlements, support for public education, and other critical requirements.

     SECTION 4.  Part II, Act 134, Session Laws of Hawaii 2013, is amended by amending section 3 to read as follows:

     "SECTION 3.  APPROPRIATIONS.  The following sums, or so much thereof as may be sufficient to accomplish the purposes and programs designated herein, are hereby appropriated or authorized, as the case may be, from the means of financing specified to the expending agencies designated for the fiscal biennium beginning July 1, 2013 and ending June 30, 2015.  The total expenditures and the number of positions in each fiscal year of the biennium shall not exceed the sums and the number indicated for each fiscal year, except as provided elsewhere in this Act, or as provided by general law.
