SB 1654 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO LAND TRANSFERS.

SB 1654 authorizes state agencies to transfer specific parcels of land to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL). This directly affects DHHL, which manages land for Native Hawaiian homesteaders. The bill's key provision is granting formal permission for these land transfers to occur under existing state authority. The change would expand DHHL's land holdings without requiring new funding or altering existing land management rules.
