A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that the assessment of fees for parking on roadways and in parking areas under the jurisdiction of the department of education can serve as a revenue source to benefit public education.  Authorizing the department of education to assess fees for parking in areas and facilities under its jurisdiction will provide the department with another source of revenue to address the massive budget reductions and restrictions affecting public education.

     The purpose of this Act is to authorize the department of education to adopt rules and assess fees for parking on roadways and in parking areas under its jurisdiction.

     SECTION 2.  Chapter 302A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding two new sections to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

     "§302A-    Parking; control by department.  (a)  The department may adopt rules in accordance with chapter 91 to govern the traffic and parking conditions on roadways and other areas under the jurisdiction of the department.

     (b)  The department, in accordance with chapter 91 may:

     (1)  Assess fees for parking on roadways and in parking areas under the jurisdiction of the department; provided that parking for school-related events and activities shall be exempt from fees; and

     (2)  Adopt rules relating to the assessment and collection of fees for parking specified in this section.

     (c)  Fees collected under this section shall be deposited in the department of education parking revolving fund established pursuant to section 302A-   ; provided that any parking fee assessed by a school shall be deposited to the credit of the school's nonappropriated local school fund account.

     (d)  The department may contract with the department of accounting and general services or a private entity to implement this section.

     §302A-    Department of education parking revolving fund.  There is established the department of education parking revolving fund.  All fees, fines, or other moneys collected under section 302A-    shall be deposited into the revolving fund; provided that parking fees collected by the school principal or designee shall be deposited to the credit of the school's nonappropriated local school fund account.  All moneys in the revolving fund are hereby appropriated for the purposes of, and shall be expended by, the department."

     SECTION 3.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
