HB 2377 Summary

• Amends Act 164 (General Appropriations Act of 2023) to address funding shortfalls caused by the repeal of a budget transfer proviso that previously allowed departments to move funds between programs.

• Appropriates additional general funds for fiscal year 2023-2024 to various Department of Public Safety correctional facilities and programs, including Halawa, Hawaii, Maui, and Oahu Community Correctional Centers, Women's Community Correctional Center, and other PSD programs.

• Adjusts funding allocations across multiple PSD programs to match anticipated activity levels, with changes ranging from minor adjustments to increases of approximately $5 million for some facilities.

• Makes all appropriations budget-neutral by offsetting increases in some programs with decreases in others to maintain overall departmental spending levels.

• Effective July 1, 3000 (note: date appears to be a typographical error in the bill text).
