Informing the Legislature that on June 25, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1348 HD2 SD2 CD1 (ACT 225).

HB1348 establishes a public lottery system for leasing cabins on Hawaii's public lands (including state parks and forest reserves) for "recreation-residence" use, defined as part-time, occasional recreational living not intended for continuous occupancy by the lessee or their family. The law requires the Board of Land and Natural Resources to lease these cabins via lottery (not public auction) for terms up to 20 years, with renewal options for lessees in "good standing" (full lease compliance). Renewal rents must adjust every five years using the GDP deflator, and the board must enforce lease terms with standardized penalties for violations. This directly affects individuals or entities seeking to lease public land cabins for recreational purposes.
