AI Summary

  • Repeals section 302A-305 of Hawaii Revised Statutes, which established the Education Research and Development Revolving Fund within the Department of Education.

  • All unencumbered balances remaining in the fund shall lapse to the state general fund on July 1, 2017.

  • Repeal is based on the recommendation in Auditor's Report No. 16-11, which found the fund does not meet self-sustaining criteria required for a revolving fund.
