2021 Plan of Finance Amortization
HAWAI
General Fund Financial Plan Assumptions/Details
OF
STATE O
The State's Updated Multi-Year General Fund Financial Plan is Based upon the Recent September
2021 Council on Revenues Forecast
1959
■ Expenditures are based upon all Legislatively approved budgets in 2021
-
Also incorporates 2021 Legislative Session tax measures, Special Funds and Emergency Budget and Reserve Fund
transfers as well as working capital borrowing
Out year expenditures for Executive branch reflect continuation of recurring budget costs with increases for projected
debt service, pension contribution, FICA, employee health benefits, OPEB and Medicaid costs
Other budgets (Judiciary, Legislative, Office of Hawaiian Affairs) assume continuation of recurring budget costs
Specific appropriations include $390 million for additional OPEB prefunding contributions and $250 million for an
additional deposit into the Emergency Budget and Reserve Fund
Improved Council on Revenues forecast allows for significant planned actions and set asides to be included in the updated
Financial Plan (requires further Legislative approval and possibly federal approval due to receipt of COVID-19 funds)
-
Proposed voluntary set asides include a $1.05 billion deposit to the State's Emergency Budget Reserve Fund later this
fiscal year and $250 million in OPEB payments above the ARC requirement in FY 2023 among other one-time
expenditures
The State has the flexibility to not implement these items in the event that revenue forecasts change
■ Before taking into account the large proposed voluntary reserve and OPEB deposits, the updated General Fund Financial
Plan projects recurring revenues in excess of recurring expenditures each and every year through FY 2027
This will provide the State considerable flexibility in its ongoing financial management in the event that future Council
revenue projections are reduced
