Dear Mr. Roth: ' UJ
RE: FY 2021 Career Criminal Prosecution (CCP)
and Victim Witness Assistance (VW) Programs
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all sectors of the economy in
Hawaii, across the nation, and the world. Hawaii's economy has been hit hard. The Council of
Revenues, at its May 28, 2020 meeting, lowered the FY 2021 projection from 0% to -12.0%. In
anticipation of the projected revenue decrease of$1.6 billion for FY 2021, the Department is
imposing a20% restriction on the CCP and VW Programs for FY 2021. General fund tax
revenue collections are expected to be severely impacted by the loss of the tourism economy,
high unemployment rates, and other factors. We are awaiting the release of the Governor's FY
2021 Budget Execution Policies and Instructions, which may impact the CCP and VW Programs.
Further restrictions may be needed.
The Department's funding for the CCP and VW programs is part of the discretionary
operating budget. Each county's CCP and VW allocations for FY 2021, with the 20°%
restriction, are listed below.
