REQUESTING THE KO OLINA GOLF CLUB OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT, IN COORDINATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, TO IMPLEMENT MEASURES TO PREVENT GOLF BALLS FROM REACHING FARRINGTON HIGHWAY.
HR 64 is a House Resolution requesting Ko Olina Golf Club owners and the Hawaii Department of Transportation (DOT) to develop safety measures preventing golf balls from landing on Farrington Highway. It directly affects the golf club and DOT, addressing safety concerns after reports of golf balls striking vehicles and pedestrians along the busy 18.5-mile highway corridor. The resolution asks the golf club to implement perimeter safety measures and requests the DOT submit a report with recommendations to the Legislature by 2026. This is a non-binding request, not a law, focusing solely on voluntary safety improvements and a follow-up report.
