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. Declares that the general fund expenditure ceiling is exceeded. Makes an appropriation to the Department of Budget and Finance to fund the incentive payments. Makes an appropriation to the Department of Health for one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) permanent position within the State Council on Developmental Disabilities to provide statewide outreach, advocacy, and relationship management for the Hawaiʻi ABLE Savings Program.
