Bill > SB3085

This bill streamlines the process for the Hawaii Film Studio by exempting dispositions of lands set aside for filming and film studio operations from requiring prior approval from the Board of Land and Natural Resources, which is a state board that oversees public lands. This change aims to strengthen and develop Hawaii's film industry by making it easier for the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to manage the studio facility at Diamond Head. The bill also includes a sunset provision, meaning it will be repealed on June 30, 2030, if the Hawaii Film Studio has not changed its location by that date, at which point the previous law will be reinstated. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 3000.
