MODERATE

The bill was revised to swap the direction of property transfers between the City and County of Honolulu and the State of Hawaii. Originally, the State was transferring seven parcels to the City; the revised version transfers one parcel (Alii Tower) from the City to the State, while retaining the State-to-City transfers for the other seven parcels. This change clarifies the State's intent to maintain ownership of the Alii Tower property rather than transferring it to the City.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded to include a new property transfer from the City to the State, while the original seven State-to-City transfers remain unchanged.

SCOPE

The transfer of the Alii Tower property (TMK 1-2-1-17-8) was reversed: originally the City would transfer it to the State, but now the City transfers it to the State (same direction as originally, but the original text showed the State transferring to the City).

DEFINITION

A new Section 4 was added to exempt the Alii Tower property from the definition of 'public lands' under HRS Chapter 171, ensuring it is not subject to public land trust requirements.

TIMELINE

The effective date for the entire Act was changed from December 31, 2025 to July 1, 2040.

TECHNICAL

Metadata and formatting artifacts from the original document were removed, and the document was reorganized into a cleaner format.
