SB 2921 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO STATE FUNDS.

SB 2921 transfers leftover funds from various specialized state accounts (like dedicated program funds) into the main general fund. It directly affects state budget management by consolidating unused balances. The bill's key provision is a routine budget adjustment to redirect excess money, not altering any policies or programs. This procedural change has no direct impact on residents or specific groups, as it only moves existing funds. (1 sentence, as it is a routine budget transfer.)
