REQUESTING THE AIRPORTS DIVISION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO CONVENE A TASK FORCE TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING AND IMPLEMENTING A CORPORATION TO MANAGE THE STATE'S AIRPORTS.

HCR 120 is a concurrent resolution requesting the Hawaii Department of Transportation's Airports Division to form a task force to study creating a separate corporation to manage the state's airports. The task force must include DOT staff, transportation committee leaders, tourism authorities, airline representatives, labor unions, and airport businesses. It will analyze the potential benefits, challenges, and costs of such a corporation, including impacts on operations, governance, and airport facilities. The task force must submit its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by January 2026. This resolution does not create the corporation but seeks a study to inform future decisions about airport management.
