AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution urges the Governor of Hawaii to follow a Hawaii Supreme Court decision in the case of *Kalima v. State of Hawaii*, which found that the State breached its trust obligations to native Hawaiian beneficiaries of the Hawaii Home Lands Program. The resolution calls for the Governor to stop fighting the payment of damages to these beneficiaries who were harmed by the State's mismanagement and delays in providing homesteads, as determined by the court. The Hawaii Home Lands Trust is a program designed to provide land for native Hawaiians, and the *Kalima* case specifically addressed claims for monetary damages resulting from breaches of trust that occurred between 1959 and 1998.
