Kalbert Young, 东精影业 vice president for budget and finance and chief financial officer, provides an update of the legislative session as it heads into its final weeks before the scheduled May 4 adjournment.
The 2023 state legislature is in the final three weeks before its scheduled adjournment on May 4. That means that a number of legislative measures—most notably, the budget—are on their way to the last phase of deliberation this session. The state Senate approved its version of the state budget (HB 300 HD1 SD1) on April 11, and only partially restored funds to 东精影业 to current operating levels for the first year of the biennium. By contrast, the budget passed by the House of Representatives (HB 300 HD1) earlier in the session fully restored funding, as reported in the March 21 legislative update.
If the Senate’s version ultimately passes, it would require the university to come back to the Legislature in 2024 to again request restoration of state support to funded operating levels that were in place before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Restoration of public funding levels to the university was the top legislative priority for 东精影业 this legislative session along with expanding the Hawai?i Promise program to the three four-year universities and funding to address healthcare workforce shortages.
The Senate provided no funding to expand Hawai?i Promise and only provided funding for 1 of the 14 requests for additional funding to help address workforce shortages in the healthcare industry.
The General Fund Budget table (at the bottom of the online story) compares the total general fund budgets for the campuses in the 东精影业 Board of Regents, governor, House and Senate versions of the operating budget and the dozens of added items.
The House and the Senate will now begin to negotiate their differences on the budget bills and other measures that are still alive in conference committees. This final process of the session is where selected conferees from each chamber meet behind closed doors to work out differences between their versions of the bills and pass out amended drafts that both chambers agree on. The outcomes of these meetings will ultimately decide funding for 东精影业 and other state agencies.
Capital improvement projects
For the capital improvement projects (CIP) budget, 东精影业 requested $262.5 million for FY24 and $296 million for FY25 in additional General Obligation Bonds to address capital renewal, progress on deferred maintenance and funding for projects to modernize each of the campuses within the 东精影业 System. The plan was for the funds to be equitably and proportionally dispersed.
The Senate’s budget includes $142.5 million for FY24 and $93.7 million for FY25 in General Obligation Bond funding and $91 million for FY24 and $54 million for FY25 in General Funds for various projects.
Upon review and examination of the Senate version of the budget, it appears funds and reductions are disproportionately appropriated in favor of the 东精影业 Community Colleges. 东精影业 was provided a total of $233.5 million in the aggregate. Of that amount, the 东精影业 Community Colleges account for $173.9 million, or 74% of the total amount, even though the seven community colleges make up just 22% of 东精影业’s total gross square footage.
The Senate budget bill provides three individual (yet, repetitive) $35 million appropriations in FY24 for repairing and/or renovating 东精影业 Community College facilities. While 东精影业 Manoa accounts for 67% of the system’s total square footage, the amount appropriated for Renew/Improve/Modernize (RIM) for 东精影业 Manoa, 东精影业 Hilo and 东精影业 West O?ahu campuses, totaled just $17.5 million.
Without at least $50 million per year in RIM funding, 东精影业’s deferred maintenance backlog is estimated to increase to nearly $1 billion in the next few years. Outside of the Community Colleges, 东精影业 currently has at least $80 million of shovel-ready projects that will have to wait another year if funding is not allocated in the final budget.
The CIP budget comparison table (at the bottom of the online story) compares the BOR, governor, House and Senate budgets.
2023 legislative session remaining timeline
The next major deadline will be the final decking of bills on April 28. By this time, all bills must have concluded deliberation in conference committees of both the House and Senate. The Hawai?i State Legislature is scheduled to adjourn on May 4, 2023.
