REQUESTING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO RETURN TO THE STATE ALL RECREATIONAL FACILITIES ON HAWAII PUBLIC LANDS THAT ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED FOR THE DEFENSE OF THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING FORT DERUSSY AND THE HALE KOA HOTEL, PURSUANT TO THE HAWAII ADMISSION ACT, AND AS FURTHER REQUIRED BY PUBLIC LAW 88-233.
The committee(s) on WAL/PBS recommend(s) that the measure be deferred.
Summary
The resolution asks the U.S. President to convey any Hawaii public‑land recreation facilities that the federal government no longer requires for national defense back to the State of Hawaii. It specifically names Fort DeRussy and the Hale Koa Hotel, citing the Hawaii Admission Act and Public Law 88‑233 as the legal basis. The goal is to restore these lands to the state so they can be used for the benefit of all Hawaiians rather than for exclusive military recreation.
