Bill > SB2976

This bill amends Section 171-6 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to grant the Board of Land and Natural Resources the authority to adopt rules that implement any federal regulation concerning the state's public lands, minerals, water, and coastal areas as they existed on January 1, 2025, if the Board deems it to be in the public interest. This includes regulations related to soil conservation, forests, aquatic and wildlife resources, state parks, historic sites, and activities like boating and ocean recreation. The bill also makes several technical changes to existing language regarding penalties for encroachments and violations, and the collection of fees and interest on delinquent payments.
