47	47	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Act 214, Session Laws of Hawaii 2013, established a task force on mobility management within the department of health. The task force was required to make recommendations on establishing a transportation framework to assist elders and individuals with disabilities with transportation needs in each county, including recommendations relating to the state budget and program development. The legislature further finds that Hawaii's residents, including elders and individuals with disabilities, should be able to live at home with the supports they need so that they can participate in communities that value their contributions. Additionally, many residents statewide, especially in rural communities, are without family members nearby to provide transportation and are too frail or disabled to access public transit. Transportation services are often fragmented, underutilized, or difficult to navigate and can be costly because of inconsistent, duplicative, and often restrictive federal and state program rules and regulations. Due to these circumstances, there is a need for a policy on mobility management, a concept in which a single entity in a geographical area is charged with knowing and deploying the entire array of available transportation resources. This system would focus on the individual and identify the best practices. The legislature further finds that the recommendations described in the task force on mobility management's statewide mobility management report, submitted to the twenty-eighth legislature, have yet to be implemented. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to the department of health to implement the recommendations of the task force on mobility management. 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 implementation of the recommendations of the task force on mobility management, as described in the task force's 2015 statewide mobility management report, including funding of the following positions: (1) One mobility manager in each of the counties of Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui; (2) One statewide outreach position; and (3) One statewide coordinator. The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of health for the purposes of this Act. SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2023. INTRODUCED BY: _____________________________
