AI Summary
This bill revises the process for transferring certain public school lands, updating tax map key numbers and clarifying conveyance procedures as initially directed by Act 307 of 2022. It also directs the transfer of specific lands currently held by the Department of Education (DOE) to the County of Kauai and the Hawaii State Public Library System. A key change is that the DOE will no longer need approval from the Board of Land and Natural Resources for land dispositions of school buildings, facilities, and grounds if these dispositions are for periods longer than one year, streamlining the process for community use.
