MODERATE

This bill updates Hawaii's procurement laws by creating a special fund to manage transaction fees from the state's procurement automation system and formally adding the School Facilities Authority's executive director as a chief procurement officer. It also clarifies the role of the State Procurement Office administrator as the chief procurement officer for remaining executive branch departments. These changes improve financial accountability for procurement system operations and ensure consistent oversight across all state entities.

Scope change

Expanded to include the School Facilities Authority as a designated entity with a chief procurement officer and added a category for remaining executive branch departments under the State Procurement Office administrator.

FISCAL

Establishes a new State Procurement Automation System Special Fund to hold transaction fees collected from vendors, ensuring funds are directly controlled by the State Procurement Office for system maintenance and upgrades.

ELIGIBILITY

Adds the executive director of the School Facilities Authority as an official chief procurement officer, aligning it with the authority's existing mandate from Act 72, Session Laws of Hawaii 2020.

REQUIREMENT

Updates the list of chief procurement officers to include the State Procurement Office administrator as the officer for remaining executive branch departments and all attached governmental bodies.

TIMELINE

Changes the effective date of the transaction fee from fiscal year 2021-2022 to fiscal year 2024-2025, likely reflecting updated implementation timelines.

TECHNICAL

Updates the effective date of the Act from July 1, 3000 to July 1, 2025, correcting a placeholder date.
