RELATING TO INTER-ISLAND FERRY SERVICE.
SB 219 prevents Maui County ferry operators from having harbor use fees waived for inter-island routes. It requires all vessels providing these services within Maui County to pay standard harbor fees, directly affecting local ferry companies. The bill clarifies existing fee rules without creating new taxes or services. This is a procedural clarification, not a substantive policy change.
