REQUESTING THE KO OLINA GOLF CLUB OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT, IN COORDINATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, TO IMPLEMENT MEASURES TO PREVENT GOLF BALLS FROM REACHING FARRINGTON HIGHWAY.
House Concurrent Resolution HCR 71 requests Ko Olina Golf Club owners and management, in coordination with Hawaii's Department of Transportation (DOT), to implement safety measures preventing golf balls from landing on Farrington Highway. This follows reports of golf balls striking vehicles and homes near the course, creating safety risks for drivers and pedestrians on a heavily traveled highway corridor. The resolution also directs the DOT to submit a report with findings and recommendations to the Legislature by 2026. As a non-binding request, it does not mandate specific actions but seeks collaborative safety improvements.
