47	47	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that it is a matter of statewide concern that the president of the University of Hawaii serves simultaneously as the chief procurement officer for the University of Hawaii system, as this leads to inevitable conflicts of interest. The legislature further finds that across the United States, the vast majority of public higher education institutions, including the California State University System, University of Massachusetts System, and University of Oregon System, differentiate between institutional leadership and purchasing when assigning the authority over procurement. While the chief procurement officer for the Colorado State University System possesses authority over state purchasing and procurement as well as direct oversight over Colorado's institutions of higher learning, there were no instances in institutions across the country in which a university president is concurrently named as chief procurement officer. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to designate the vice president for budget and finance and chief financial officer as the chief procurement officer for the University of Hawaii. SECTION 2. Section 103D-203, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows: "(a) The chief procurement officer for each of the following state entities shall be: (1) The judiciary--the administrative director of the courts; (2) The senate--the president of the senate; (3) The house of representatives--the speaker of the house of representatives; (4) The office of Hawaiian affairs--the chairperson of the board; (5) The University of Hawaii--[the president of the University of Hawaii;] the vice president for budget and finance and chief financial officer; (6) The department of education, excluding the Hawaii public library system--the superintendent of education; (7) The Hawaii health systems corporation--the chief executive officer of the Hawaii health systems corporation; and (8) The remaining departments of the executive branch of the State and all governmental bodies administratively attached to them--the administrator of the state procurement office of the department of accounting and general services." SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on June 30, 3000; provided that the amendments made to section 103D-203(a), Hawaii Revised Statutes, by section 2 of this Act shall not be repealed when that section is reenacted on June 30, 2024, pursuant to section 16 of Act 8, Special Session Laws of Hawaii 2021.
