REQUESTING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO RETURN TO THE STATE ALL RECREATIONAL FACILITIES ON HAWAII PUBLIC LANDS THAT ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED FOR THE DEFENSE OF THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING FORT DERUSSY AND THE HALE KOA HOTEL, PURSUANT TO THE HAWAII ADMISSION ACT, AND AS FURTHER REQUIRED BY PUBLIC LAW 88-233.

This House Resolution requests the President of the United States to return recreational facilities on Hawaii public lands, specifically Fort DeRussy and the Hale Koa Hotel, to the State of Hawaii. The bill relies on the Hawaii Admission Act and Public Law 88-233, which require federal agencies to report whether retained crown and government lands are still needed for defense purposes. If the President determines these lands are no longer required for military defense, they must be conveyed back to the state. The resolution argues that the facilities currently operate as commercial hotels and recreation centers rather than active military installations, making them surplus to federal defense needs.
