Informing the Legislature that on June 3, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB2367 SD2 HD2 CD1 (ACT 072).

This bill allows the state to lease the management of the Ala Wai small boat harbor to a private developer while keeping current public employees on staff. The legislation aims to address severe maintenance backlogs and funding shortages by introducing a public-private partnership model similar to one already used at the Kewalo Basin harbor. By transferring operational responsibilities to a private entity, the state intends to improve harbor conditions and free up resources for broader ocean recreation management. The plan also includes provisions to enhance public access, parking, and pedestrian pathways along the shoreline between Ala Moana and Waikiki.
