Bill > SCR238

This concurrent resolution requests the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to address homeless encampments at the Waianae Small Boat Harbor on the island of Oahu. The resolution highlights concerns that these encampments have caused disruptions, including reported damage to boats and preventing people from accessing their vessels, which negatively impact the harbor's function as a valuable public resource. Specifically, the resolution asks DLNR to relocate the homeless encampments "with dignity" and provide the Legislature with a detailed timeline for the removal process. Additionally, the resolution directs that certified copies of the resolution be sent to key DLNR officials, including the Chairperson of the Board of Land and Natural Resources, the Administrator of the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR), and the Enforcement Chief of the Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE), to ensure proper communication and follow-up on the requested actions.
