RELATING TO LAND TRANSFERS.
SB 1654 authorizes the transfer of specific lands currently managed by certain state agencies to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. This bill directly affects state agencies holding those lands and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, which manages land for Native Hawaiian beneficiaries. The key provision is the legal mechanism enabling this transfer of jurisdiction over designated properties. The bill does not create new policy but facilitates a change in land management responsibility between state entities.
