RELATING TO THE HAWAII ABLE SAVINGS PROGRAM.
Summary
Repeals language that gives the director of finance discretion to use moneys in the Hawaiʻi ABLE savings program trust fund if the director elects to accept deposits from contributors instead of sending deposits directly to the ABLE program manager. Authorizes the director of finance to expend moneys in the Hawaiʻi ABLE savings program trust fund to provide incentive payments to Hawaiʻi public school ABLE account owners. Appropriates moneys to fund incentive payments. Establishes and appropriates moneys to fund one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) permanent position to provide statewide outreach, advocacy, and relationship management for the Hawaiʻi ABLE savings program.
