THIRTY-THIRD LEGISLATURE, 2026
S.D. 1
STATE OF HAWAII
A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO STATE FUNDS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that continuing shifts in federal policy are creating significant and widespread challenges in Hawaii and across the nation. These federal changes, combined with broader economic trends, are expected to affect Hawaii's fiscal stability in the near future. Reductions in federal funding and uncertainty regarding future federal grant programs require the State to be prepared to assume financial responsibility for critical programs that currently rely on federal support.
The legislature further finds that in periods of economic uncertainty, it is essential for the State to maintain the ability to fund important programs with moneys that are not immediately needed elsewhere. In Act 87, Session Laws of Hawaii 2021, the State proactively transferred funds to mitigate fiscal disruptions caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. A similar approach is warranted in 2026 to ensure the continuity of essential services.
Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to transfer non‑general fund account balances that exceed one year's operating expenses to the general fund.
SECTION 2. The legislature determines that there are amounts in excess of the requirements of the various funds listed in this Act. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the director of finance may transfer the following amounts or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2026-2027 from the following funds to the general fund:
FUND NAME
Minimum amount in excess of the requirements of the fund as determined by the legislature ($)
Amount authorized to be transferred to the general fund by the director of finance ($)
