GM 1152 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Informing the Legislature that on June 19, 2024, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB3092 SD2 HD1 CD1 (ACT 052).

This bill directs the Governor to inform the Legislature that it has signed an act providing an emergency appropriation of $6.6 million to the Department of Education for charter schools. The funding addresses a shortfall caused by a higher-than-projected enrollment growth in charter schools, partly due to the need for temporary educational options in Lahaina following the 2023 Maui wildfires. The legislation legally permits this expenditure to exceed the state's general fund spending ceiling for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, ensuring that charter schools receive proportional funding based on their student numbers.
