Bill > SCR91

This Concurrent Resolution urges the United States to fulfill its commitments to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and the Hawaiian Home Lands Trust, which were established by the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921 to provide land for native Hawaiians. Specifically, it calls for the U.S. to fully implement the Hawaiian Home Lands Recovery Act of 1995, which was intended to resolve claims arising from the federal government's use of lands originally set aside for this program. The resolution highlights that the U.S. has not met its obligations in a timely manner and that the Trust should be compensated for the ongoing loss of use of these lands, requesting Hawaii's congressional delegation to pursue legislative solutions for this compensation.
