MODERATE
This bill revision shifts from a general fund for Maui wildfire rebuilding to specific, targeted appropriations for five distinct projects: King Kamehameha III Elementary School, its roadway, David Malo Circle/Piilani homes, the Lahaina small boat harbor, and the Lahaina public library. Each project now has a dedicated appropriation and is assigned to a specific state agency responsible for its execution. The revision also adds a requirement that no funds can be spent until the full cost for each specific project is secured, ensuring complete funding before expenditure.
Scope change
The scope narrowed from a broad, flexible fund for general Lahaina infrastructure redevelopment to a fixed list of five specific projects with designated responsible agencies.
FISCAL

Added specific line items appropriating funds for the King Kamehameha III Elementary School, its roadway, David Malo Circle and Piilani homes, the Lahaina small boat harbor, and the Lahaina public library.

Removed the previous general appropriation language that allowed funds to be distributed broadly for rebuilding and restoration without specifying individual projects.

ELIGIBILITY

Assigned specific spending responsibilities to the Department of Education, Department of Transportation, Hawaii Public Housing Authority, Department of Land and Natural Resources, and Hawaii State Public Library System respectively.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new requirement that funds for any specific project cannot be expended until the full cost for that project has been made available by the comptroller.
