REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO SUBMIT A DETAILED REPORT ON ITS LEASE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS AND PROCEDURES.

This House Resolution (HR 145) requests the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to submit a detailed report on its lease enforcement procedures. The report must include DLNR's policies for monitoring lease compliance, how it assesses lessee violations (including for federal agencies), a summary of the 10 most recent lease revocations or non-renewals, and the total number of such cases. DLNR must submit the report to the Legislature by January 2026, including recommendations for improving enforcement transparency. This is a procedural request for information, not a policy change.
