Bill > HCR71

This concurrent resolution requests the Ko Olina Golf Club owners and management, in coordination with the Department of Transportation (DOT), to address a safety issue involving golf balls landing on Farrington Highway. The resolution highlights that the highway corridor currently experiences up to 54,000 daily commuters, with expected growth to over 22% by 2040, and that certain golf holes at the Ko Olina Golf Club run adjacent to the highway. Recognizing an increasing number of reports about golf balls hitting homes, cars, and potentially posing a significant safety hazard to drivers and pedestrians, the resolution calls for the golf club to implement safety measures to prevent golf balls from leaving the golf course. Additionally, the resolution requests the DOT to submit a report with findings and recommendations, including potential legislation, to the Legislature prior to the 2026 Regular Session, and directs that certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the DOT Director and Ko Olina Golf Club owners and management.
