Eliminates vacant government positions in Hawaii that have been unfilled for over five years.

The bill addresses the issue of long-term vacant positions in government by requiring the abolishment of any such positions that have remained unfilled for more than five years. This applies unless the hiring department or agency has certified that they are awaiting approval to hire for that position. The Director of Human Resources Development is tasked with reclassifying or abolishing these positions, subject to legislative reporting requirements. Funds for abolished positions will lapse to the credit of the general fund.
