A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO THE HIGH TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The high technology development corporation was established by the Hawaii state legislature in 1983 to facilitate the development and growth of Hawaii's commercial high technology industry. The State views high technology as an important driver in the diversification of Hawaii's economy and one that provides quality, high-paying jobs for Hawaii residents. With rapid advancements in telecommunication, the internet, and automation, "high technology" is now simply referred to as "technology" and has become an integral component of leading business across all industries. The high technology development corporation mission is to grow the technology and innovation economy. Changing the name of the high technology development corporation to the Hawaii technology development corporation more accurately describes its mission.
SECTION 2. Chapter 206M, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending its title to read as follows:
"[HIGH] HAWAII TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION"
SECTION 3. Chapter 206M, part I, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending its title to read as follows:
"[HIGH] HAWAII TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION"
SECTION 4. Sections 26-18(b), 171-2(11), 171-64.7(a)(8), 206M-1, 206M-2, 210-7(b), 211F-3(a), 227D-2(b), 304A-3101(b), and 394-8(b), Hawaii Revised Statutes, are amended by substituting the term "Hawaii technology development corporation" for "high technology development corporation" wherever the term appears.
SECTION 5. Sections 206M-3, 206M-8, 206M-9, 206M-10, 206M-15, 206M-15.5, 206M-17, 206M-41, 206M-44, and 206M-45, Hawaii Revised Statutes, are amended by substituting the term "technology" for "high technology" wherever the term appears.
SECTION 6. Section 206M-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending the definition of "high technology" to read as follows:
""[High
technology] Technology" means industries that are
technology-intensive, including but not limited to electronics, biotechnology,
software, computers, telecommunications, and other computer-related
technologies."
SECTION 7. All acts passed during this regular session of 2016, whether enacted before or after the passage of this Act, that refers to the "high technology development corporation" shall be read to refer to the corporation as renamed in this Act.
SECTION 8. This Act shall not affect the validity of any contract, lease, rule, or other document that uses the term "high technology development corporation."
SECTION 9. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 10. This Act, upon its approval, shall take effect on July 1, 2016.
