AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Health, in collaboration with the Department of Land and Natural Resources and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, to submit a comprehensive report to the legislature by early 2027 detailing a plan for the permanent transfer of responsibilities concerning the Kalaupapa Settlement. This report will outline each department's interests and duties in Kalawao county (where Kalaupapa is located), the procedures for transferring these powers, the roles and responsibilities before and after the transfer, budget proposals for the transition, and a proposed timeline for the transfer after the last resident patient passes away, aiming to address uncertainties about the future of this historic settlement.
