AI Summary

  • Creates a new chapter in Hawaii Revised Statutes to establish procedures for allocating the state's federal bond ceiling to state and county issuers.

  • Defines key terms including "bond," "issuer" (state or county departments, boards, commissions, authorities, or not-for-profit corporations), and "state ceiling" (federal limits on tax-exempt bond issuance under the Internal Revenue Code and federal legislation).

  • Grants the Department of Budget and Finance, with governor approval, authority to allocate or reallocate the state bond ceiling to issuers and to require reports on planned use of allocations.

  • Requires issuers to submit certificates evidencing application of bond allocations to the department and mandates department maintenance of allocation records.
