RELATING TO THE HAWAII PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY.

HB 1095 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes section 356D-6.7 to allow the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA) to close *all* its property parcels to the public, not just specific areas. This change directly affects HPHA residents, visitors, and community members who access or live on HPHA-managed housing properties. The key mechanism expands the authority's existing power to restrict public access by explicitly including every parcel under HPHA jurisdiction. The bill does not alter housing eligibility, rent, or tenant rights - it solely modifies public access rules for HPHA properties. The measure is currently pending before the House Standing Committee on Housing, with a committee recommendation to defer further action.
