HB1067 Summary

• Extends the sunset date in Act 42 (SLH 2018) from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2024, allowing the University of Hawaii president to continue serving as chief procurement officer for all university procurement contracts under Hawaii Revised Statutes chapter 103D.

• Act 42 originally established a three-year trial period (2018-2021) restoring the university president's full procurement authority after concerns about oversight led to Act 87 (SLH 2013) bifurcating procurement rules between construction and non-construction contracts.

• The State Procurement Office's 2016 report found the University of Hawaii conducting construction procurements in a "compliant, efficient, and transparent manner" based on review of 102 solicitations, supporting restoration of university autonomy.

• Amends section 6 of Act 42 to change the repeal date from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2024, effectively extending the university president's full procurement authority for an additional three years.
