Bill > HB1933

This bill authorizes counties in Hawaii to close or restrict public access to county-controlled properties when necessary to safeguard public health, ensure public safety, or preserve natural or cultural resources, which are lands managed by the counties that hold significant natural, cultural, and recreational value for residents and visitors. These closures or restrictions can include denying access to certain areas, changing operating hours, prohibiting or limiting specific activities, or setting conditions for entry, and counties must provide public notice through methods like posting signs, website publication, or other reasonable means. This new authority does not prevent counties from closing or restricting access for other legal reasons or under existing laws.
