The existing five staff members perform investigative duties, as needed, including testifying in court when cases are prosecuted. The legislature further finds that in order to maintain the integrity and transparency of the campaign finance process, increasing the commission staff by one investigator position is necessary. The purpose of this act is to establish an investigator position in the campaign spending commission. SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $125,000 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 one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) permanent investigator position to be placed in the campaign spending commission. The sums appropriated shall be expended by the campaign spending commission for the purposes of this Act. SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2023.
