47	47	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the university of Hawaii cancer center is one of seventy-one National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers in the United States. It is the only center in Hawaii and the Pacific region. The legislature also finds that the university of Hawaii cancer center reduces the burden of cancer through research, education, patient care, and community outreach, with an emphasis on the unique ethnic, cultural, and environmental characteristics of Hawaii and the Pacific region. Cancer incidence and mortality rates have decreased in Hawaii over the last decade, but despite this overall reduction, the disparities between ethnic populations continue to be of concern. Native Hawaiians continue to have the highest cancer incidence and mortality rates among men and women, including higher incidences of breast and ovarian cancers. Similarly, Filipino women have the highest incidences of ovarian and thyroid cancer. The legislature finds that cancer research focusing on Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and Filipinos is a matter of statewide concern and is unique to Hawaii and the university of Hawaii cancer center and thus cannot be easily conducted anywhere else in the world. The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to the university of Hawaii cancer center for a multiethnic cohort study focusing on the social determinants of health, lifestyles, environmental exposures, and resilience factors of Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and Filipinos. 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 2023-2024 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2024-2025 for the university of Hawaii cancer center to conduct a multiethnic cohort study focusing on the social determinants of health, lifestyles, environmental exposures, and resilience factors of Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and Filipinos. The sums appropriated shall be expended by the university of Hawaii for the purposes of this Act. SECTION 3. The university of Hawaii cancer center shall seek federal funding, in addition to the funds appropriated by this Act, to complete the multiethnic cohort study identified in section 2 of this Act. SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on June 30, 3000.
