REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO TRANSFER FEE SIMPLE TITLE OWNERSHIP OF PARCELS OF LAND TO THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND BIOSECURITY PURSUANT TO ACT 90, SESSION LAWS OF HAWAII 2003.

This Senate Resolution requests the Department of Land and Natural Resources to transfer ownership of specific public land parcels to the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity. The bill identifies two particular tax map keys - (3) 4-1-6:7 and (3) 2-6-18:1 - that would change from state land management to agricultural department control. The transfer would follow existing state laws and constitutional requirements for using public lands to support farming and homeownership. Both state boards must approve the transaction before the land ownership officially changes hands.
