HB 2626 Hawaii House · 2024 Regular Session

RELATING TO FISHPONDS.

HB 2626 outlines specific findings that the Board of Land and Natural Resources must make before leasing a government-owned Hawaiian fishpond. This requirement ensures that the board evaluates particular criteria, such as the fishpond's condition and intended use, prior to granting a lease agreement. The bill directly impacts the state agency responsible for managing these cultural and natural resources and the parties seeking to lease them. By establishing these mandatory findings, the legislation aims to add a layer of review to the leasing process for these significant sites.
