REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO COORDINATE THE TRANSFER OF SMALL BOAT HARBORS BACK TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND TO ESTABLISH A MANAGEMENT TEAM TO DEVELOP TRANSITION PLANS.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution requests the Hawaii Department of Transportation and Department of Land and Natural Resources to coordinate the transfer of small boat harbors back to the Department of Transportation. The bill asks these agencies to create a joint management team responsible for developing detailed transition plans that address staffing, organizational structure, and operational continuity. The management team must submit a report with findings and any proposed legislation to the Legislature by early 2027. This resolution serves as a planning step to ensure an orderly transfer of authority and assets, though it does not enact the transfer itself.
