HI HB500

Appropriates general fund revenues to the Department of Education for fiscal year 2024-2025 to support various extracurricular programs and student success initiatives (specific dollar amounts not filled in the draft).

Funds twelve categories of educational programs including surfing as an interscholastic sport, student-led conferences, middle school athletics, workforce readiness initiatives, work-based learning opportunities, math camps, JROTC travel, foreign language programs, middle school education, professional learning, student leadership programs, and secondary mathematics instruction.

Declares that appropriations in this Act and Act 164 from Regular Session of 2023 will exceed the state general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024-2025 and identifies the appropriation as necessary to serve the public interest and meet identified needs.

Takes effect on June 30, 3000 (appears to be a drafting error in the effective date provision).
