MINOR
This bill adds a House of Representatives version (HD1) to the existing House Bill 1423, which restricts vessel sizes in Hanalei Bay. The substantive policy content remains largely the same, but the version number and some formatting details were updated to reflect the House of Representatives' first reading.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains unchanged; it still restricts vessels over 75 feet from entering Hanalei Bay with exemptions for federal, state, and county vessels.
TECHNICAL
Added House of Representatives designation (HD1) and updated version metadata to reflect the bill's progression through the legislative process.
TIMELINE
Changed the effective date from 'upon approval' to 'July 1, 3000' in the HD1 version, though this appears to be a placeholder or error.
REQUIREMENT
Clarified that the Board of Land and Natural Resources must define Hanalei Bay boundaries by rule, adding specificity to the original text.
