AI Summary
This bill requires the Board of Land and Natural Resources to automatically extend by five years any leases of public lands to the United States Military that are set to expire between 2028 and 2031, providing the military with more time to prepare and submit an environmental impact statement, which is a detailed report assessing the potential environmental consequences of a proposed project, as required by Hawaii Revised Statutes chapter 343.

The terms "environmental impact statement," "lease," and "public lands" are defined according to existing Hawaii Revised Statutes.
