REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO CONVENE A WORKING GROUP TO CLARIFY THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMISSION ON WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND DETERMINE WHETHER THE LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF THE COMMISSION SHOULD BE AMENDED.

This concurrent resolution (SCR 146) requests Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources to form a working group to review the Commission on Water Resource Management. The working group will examine the commission's purpose and determine if its leadership structure and member composition should be changed. The resolution specifically asks the group to evaluate recommendations like clarifying the commission's public trust role, reviewing independent counsel, and considering whether certain leadership positions should be kept or replaced. This is a procedural request for organizational review, not a direct policy change.
