Informing the Legislature that on May 29, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1316 HD2 SD1 CD1 (ACT 128).

HB1316 requires commercial rental businesses to register and number kayaks, paddleboards, and other watercraft before renting them to the public at three specific state parks: Wailua River (Kauai), Kealakekua Bay (Hawaii Island), and Ahupuaʻa O Kahana (Oahu). Starting January 1, 2026, rental operators must register vessels with the state parks division and display a registration number, with fees deposited into the state parks special fund. The law applies only to these three parks, which the bill identifies as the only navigable waters within state parks statewide. It does not affect other parks or non-commercial rentals.
