AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution, passed by the Hawaii State Legislature, formally requests the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development (OPSD) to create and put into action a statewide plan to lessen the negative effects of rising sea levels on Hawaii's coastlines, which includes its beaches. The resolution highlights that climate change is causing sea levels to rise, leading to significant coastal erosion and the loss of beaches, with many more currently at risk. To address this, the OPSD is also asked to conduct a thorough study on how rising sea levels are impacting the coastlines of each county, including the effect on beach parks managed by the counties, and then report its findings and any proposed legislative solutions to the Legislature before the start of the 2023 legislative session.
