A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO FLOOD MITIGATION.

 

 

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

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that flooding is a major problem for various parts of the State.  Flooding not only causes physical damage to structures, but also creates dangerous travel conditions that lead to road closures and potential loss of life.  There are two areas that have been particularly vulnerable to flooding.  These areas include the segment of Farrington highway between Maili and Nanakuli and the area of Lualualei Valley.  Flooding due to heavy rains has been a recurring problem in these areas, causing unsafe road conditions and road closures as recently as January of 2011.

     The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds for flood mitigation efforts on Farrington highway between Maili and Nanakuli and the area of Lualualei Valley on the island of Oahu.

     SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $        or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2011-2012 for flood mitigation efforts on Farrington highway between Maili and Nanakuli on the island of Oahu.

     The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of transportation for the purposes of this Act.

     SECTION 3.  There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $        or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2011-2012 for flood mitigation efforts in the Lualualei Valley area on the island of Oahu.

     The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of defense for the purposes of this Act.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2011.
