HI HB1839

Authorizes the director of finance to issue general obligation bonds for planning, design, and construction of a visitor and interpretive center at Diamond Head State Monument.

Appropriates bond proceeds for fiscal year 2016-2017 to the department of land and natural resources for the visitor and interpretive center project.

Recognizes that Diamond Head State Monument receives over one million visitors annually, more than any other Hawaii state park, justifying a dedicated visitor and interpretive center.

Provides that appropriated funds shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal biennium, except that unencumbered moneys as of June 30, 2018 shall lapse on that date.

Takes effect on July 1, 2016.
