AI Summary

This Resolution establishes a Department of Hawaiian Home Lands Housing Construction Oversight Committee to monitor and control how a $600,000,000 settlement, originally intended to compensate for past misuse of Hawaiian home lands, is used for developing affordable housing for native Hawaiians. The committee is tasked with ensuring the funds are spent effectively and efficiently, setting construction deadlines, operating transparently under Hawaii's sunshine law (which requires government business to be conducted openly), and upholding the vision of Prince Jonah Khi Kalanianaole to return native Hawaiians to their ancestral lands. The committee will consist of two members of the House of Representatives, a Native Hawaiian with expertise in traditional practices and housing, a deputy attorney general familiar with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, and an individual with real estate and financial experience.
