MODERATE

HB 636 was revised from House Draft 1 to House Draft 2, primarily to correct formatting errors, update statutory references, and add a new funding section. The core policy of establishing a school capital improvement planning database remains unchanged, but the bill now explicitly appropriates funds from the school facilities special fund to establish the initiative, which was missing in the first draft.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on creating a planning database for school facilities, but the applicability was clarified by adding a specific appropriation from the school facilities special fund to finance the initiative.

FISCAL

Added Section 4 to explicitly appropriate funds from the school facilities special fund to establish the school capital improvement project modernization initiative.

TECHNICAL

Corrected formatting issues, including removing extraneous metadata, fixing line breaks, and standardizing text formatting throughout the document.

REQUIREMENT

Updated statutory references in Section 2 to ensure consistency with current Hawaii Revised Statutes formatting and terminology.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date from July 1, 3000 to July 1, 2026, correcting a placeholder date that was likely an error.
