Here is an update on the 2023 legislative session through the First Crossover deadline, including a highlight on the progress through the Legislature for the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>\u2019s budget request.<\/p>\n

March 9 was the First Crossover deadline where bills had to move into the non-originating chamber (Senate bills crossover to the House of Representatives, and House bills crossover to the Senate) to continue on in the legislative process. More than 3,132 bills were introduced this session, with close to 799 of those either directly affecting or indirectly impacting UH<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

The biennial budget bill (HB<\/abbr> 300 HD<\/abbr>1) completed its deliberation in the House on March 8, 2023 and has since crossed over to the Senate for their deliberation and amendments. Next, it will be shortly revised by the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. In November 2022, the UH<\/abbr> Board of Regents (BOR<\/abbr>) approved a biennial budget request that was submitted to the governor and separately to the Legislature, parts of which were included in the House version of the budget.<\/p>\n

The BOR<\/abbr>-approved request totaled $52.3 million in additional general funds for Fiscal Year 2023–24 (FY<\/abbr>24) and $59.4 million in additional general funds for Fiscal Year 2024–25 (FY<\/abbr>25). Of these amounts, more than $17.5 million is for restoration of general funds that were reduced in 2021, and $3.6 million for the return of support for athletics and other campus operations. The House works on the budget before the Senate and has approved virtually the entire request by the governor and added approximately $53.0 million for FY<\/abbr>24 and $50.5 million for FY<\/abbr>25 to UH<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

On the UH<\/abbr> capital improvement projects (CIP<\/abbr>) budget, the UH<\/abbr> request was for $262.5 million for FY<\/abbr>24 and $296 million in FY<\/abbr>25 in additional General Obligation Bonds to address capital renewal, progress on deferred maintenance and funding for projects to modernize each of the campuses within the UH<\/abbr> System.

Legislation<\/h2>\n

There are a number of bills that propose to change the organizational and operating structure of UH<\/abbr>. For example, there are a few Senate Bills (SB<\/abbr>) that would change the UH<\/abbr> president\u2019s role as the head of the UH<\/abbr> System. SB<\/abbr> 1197 SD<\/abbr>2<\/a> removes the president as the chief procurement officer (CPO<\/abbr>) and designates the vice president for budget and finance\/chief financial officer as CPO<\/abbr>. UH<\/abbr> has pointed out that the current designation is consistent with the standard practice of designating other state department leaders as CPO<\/abbr>s for their respective agencies, such as the president of the Senate; the speaker of the House of Representatives; the superintendent of the Department of Education; and the CEO<\/abbr> of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Health Systems Corporation.<\/p>\n

Another bill of concern is SB<\/abbr> 838 SD<\/abbr>1<\/a> which makes the vice president for community colleges responsible to the Board of Regents rather than the university president. The responsibility for managing this distinctive and effective structure of public higher education in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> currently rests with a single executive officer, which is the president.<\/p>\n

Next steps<\/h2>\n

There are still almost two months left before the adjournment of the State Legislature, and we are just about at the halfway point for the session. The UH<\/abbr> administration, alumni association, faculty and staff and other affinity groups have been active on the measures highlighted here and a number of others. All of our engagements with the legislators help to advocate and ensure that public funding for UH<\/abbr> programs can continue.<\/p>\n

The next major deadline is Second Crossover on April 13 when bills that are still alive are returned to their originating chamber, which is then followed by conference committees during the last two weeks of the legislative session. The Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> State Legislature is scheduled to adjourn on May 4, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
