Informing the Legislature that on June 25, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB2598 HD1 CD1 (ACT 147).

This bill, signed into law on June 25, 2026, allows the executive branch to use money from specific special or revolving funds to cover the administrative and operating costs of related programs. The legislation amends state statutes to clarify that funds designated for the Hawaii Community Development Authority and the Strategic Development Programs Revolving Fund can be used for general expenses, including personnel and daily operations. By permitting these funds to pay for their own management costs, the bill aims to help the state adapt to fluctuating federal revenue projections without relying solely on general fund appropriations.
