Summary
The bill amends the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act to set a $1 yearly rent, a 99‑year lease term (extendable to 199 years), and occupancy requirements for native Hawaiian lessees. It also permits transfers to qualified relatives, limited renting, and mortgages with federal insurance, and defines how lease interests pass to heirs. These changes aim to give native Hawaiian families more flexibility and security in using their leased lands.
