HI HB413

Appropriates matching funds for the Department of Human Resources Development (DHRD) to retain services of an online employment marketplace or networking platform (such as LinkedIn or ZipRecruiter) to recruit state employees.

Responds to Hawaii's labor shortage caused by residents relocating for better employment opportunities and nearly 4,000 vacant positions in the executive branch.

Notes that approximately 33.40 percent of the existing executive branch workforce is eligible to retire by June 30, 2027, further exacerbating staffing challenges.

Appropriates an unspecified amount from general revenues for fiscal years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, with the requirement that DHRD match these funds with federal funds.

Effective date of June 30, 3000 (appears to be a drafting error).
