SB1472

Adjusts funding for Hawaii state programs to allow supplemental allotments and transfers for capital improvement projects.

The bill amends prior appropriations acts to address operational limitations caused by the omission of special provisions that permit departments to transfer funds between projects and establish a protocol fund. It allows the governor to make supplemental allotments and transfer unrequired balances for capital improvement projects, ensuring funds are used effectively without increasing project scope or impairing fund purposes. The bill also establishes a protocol fund as a separate account for discretionary use by department heads.
