Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill makes permanent the requirement that the Department of Transportation ensure that the securing of mooring lines from vessels to commercial docks, wharves, piers, quays, and landings be performed by labor subject to collective bargaining, which means that workers represented by a union must perform these tasks. The bill repeals a "sunset provision," which is a clause in a law that causes it to expire or become invalid after a certain date, in this case, July 1, 2028. By removing this sunset provision, the law established by Act 236 of the 2024 Hawaii Session Laws, which aimed to improve harbor safety and protect the state's commercial harbor system, will continue to be in effect indefinitely, ensuring long-term operational certainty and harbor security.
