47		-	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Act 51, Session Laws of Hawaii 2004, transferred the control of certain functions of executive branch agencies that pertained to education personnel and facilities to the department of education to increase operational efficiency while reducing bureaucracy. However, after enactment of Act 51, the department of human resources development continued to provide most services to the employees of the Hawaii state public library system. Eight years later, Act 61, Session Laws of Hawaii 2012, clarified that the transfer of functions by Act 51 was not intended to include the Hawaii state public library system or its employees. The legislature further finds that despite the clarification provided by Act 61, the aspects of workers' compensation for Hawaii state public library system employees continue to be within the functions of the department of education, and not within the functions of the department of human resources development. The legislature also finds that the department of human resources development has not received any additional staff or funding from the department of education to address its increased responsibilities to the Hawaii state public library system and its employees as a consequence of Act 61. The purpose of this Act is to: (1) Transfer the rights, powers, functions, duties, and resources of the department of education relating to workers' compensation for the Hawaii state public library system and its employees to the department of human resources development; (2) Establish one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) position within the department of human resources development for the management and administration of workers' compensation for the Hawaii state public library system and its employees; and (3) Appropriate funds for the workers' compensation costs of the Hawaii state public library system and its employees. SECTION 2. All rights, powers, functions, duties, and resources of the department of education relating to workers' compensation for the Hawaii state public library system and its employees are transferred to the department of human resources development effective July 1, 2024, subject to repeal by subsequent legislation. 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 2023-2024 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2024-2025 for the establishment of one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) position within the department of human resources development for the management and administration of workers' compensation for the Hawaii state public library system and its employees. The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of human resources development for the purposes of this Act. SECTION 4. 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 2023-2024 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2024-2025 for the workers' compensation costs of the Hawaii state public library system and its employees. The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of human resources development for the purposes of this Act. SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect on January 1, 2050.
