Kalbert Young, 东精影业 vice president for budget and finance and chief financial officer, provides a breakdown of the state budget approved by lawmakers at the end of the 2023 legislative session.
On May 4, the 2023 legislative regular session ended, and the biennial budget (two-year cycle) for the State of Hawaiʻi (HB 300 CD1) was sent to Gov. Josh Green. The governor has until July 11 to sign, veto or allow bills to become law without his signature.
The operating and capital improvement projects (CIP) budget appropriations for the University of Hawaiʻi 10-campus system were significantly less than what was requested by the 东精影业 Board of Regents and the governor. The amount of funding for the first year of the biennial budget next year, fiscal year 2023–24 (FY24), should be sufficient to maintain current levels of operations. Sustained funding and funding for the full biennium will need to be addressed in the 2024 legislative session.
Operating budget overview
The top priority for the operating budget for the 2023 legislative session was the restoration of state general fund support to pre-pandemic levels. The Legislature only restored the funding the first year of the biennium (FY24) and not the second year (FY25). Other top-priority initiatives were not included in the final budget including addressing the healthcare workforce shortage and the expansion of the Hawaiʻi Promise Program to the four-year campuses.
There was additional funding provided as part of the 东精影业 request for continued funding of the existing 东精影业 Community College Hawaiʻi Promise Program and for 东精影业 惭ā苍辞补 and 东精影业 Hilo athletics, but only in the first year of the next biennium.
The operating budget table (at the bottom of the online story) compares the 东精影业 items funded by the Legislature and what was requested by the Board of Regents.
Capital improvement projects budget overview
The capital improvement projects (CIP) portion of the state budget for 东精影业 was also lower than requested. A number of renovation projects to address deferred maintenance, specifically Renew, Improve and Modernize (RIM) projects, will have to be delayed, at least for the first year of the biennium budget. The university is reprioritizing projects now based on the limited funding.
东精影业 requested a total of $558 million ($262.5 million for FY24 and $296 million for FY25) 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 Legislature appropriated a total of $384 million for the biennium budget. Of that amount, $63 million is for a prototype artificial reef project that the university did not request funding for. The Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology project is just underway and will take time to scale up.
The remaining $321 million in CIP funding is disproportionately designated among the 10 campuses, similar to the budget the Senate passed in April. The 东精影业 Community Colleges account for 60% of that amount ($193.8 million), while the seven community colleges make up 22% of 东精影业’s total gross square footage.
Funding to increase the seating capacity at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex on 东精影业 惭ā苍辞补 campus was not included in the budget. Without this support, the university will have to look at other funding alternatives to increase capacity required for a Division I football program. The university is in the process of expanding seating from 9,000 to 15,000 seats by the start of the 2023 football season after the sudden closure of Aloha Stadium in December 2020.
The CIP budget table (at the bottom of the online story) compares the funding the Legislature provided for CIP projects and what was requested by the Board of Regents.
The University of Hawaiʻi is appreciative to the governor and the Legislature for the funding provided in the budget. The 东精影业 administration is now reviewing all bills from multiple perspectives and assessing the go-forward options and impacts on the university. Of the 274 bills passed by the Legislature, approximately 64 of them may have some impact, interest, effect and/or concern to 东精影业.
