RELATING TO CHANGES TO RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CONCERNING PATIENTS, THE COUNTY OF KALAWAO, AND THE KALAUPAPA SETTLEMENT.
Act 171, on 06/26/2026 (Gov. Msg. No. 1273).
Summary
The act prepares for the end of state‑run patient care at the Kalaupapa settlement by requiring the Department of Health to notify the governor when the last resident passes, to issue an annual report, and to develop a plan to hand over authority to other government or qualified community entities. It also repeals a series of statutes that previously governed patient services, employment, pensions, store pricing, fishing rights, and sheriff duties in the county. Finally, it mandates public input on the future of Kalawao County, including the possibility of merging it with Maui County.
