HB 912 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO THE AGRIBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.

HB 912 appropriates funds to offset debt for the Waiahole Water System, effective July 1, 3000. The bill directly affects the Waiahole Water System by providing financial support to reduce its outstanding debt. Key provisions involve state funding allocation to cover the debt, though specific mechanisms or eligibility details are not described in the provided abstract. The bill was recently recommended for passage by the Agriculture Committee with amendments, but the context lacks additional policy details beyond the funding appropriation. (Note: The effective date "7/1/3000" appears to be a typographical error, as 3000 is not a current year.)
