RELATING TO THE HAWAII PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY.

SB 1414 amends Hawaii law to allow the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA) to close *all* its property parcels to the public, expanding existing closure authority beyond current designated areas. This directly affects residents and visitors to HPHA housing developments, as it gives the Authority broader discretion to restrict public access to any of its properties. The key provision changes HRS section 356D-6.7 to explicitly include "all Hawaii Public Housing Authority parcels" within the definition of areas eligible for public closure. The bill does not create new housing policies but modifies access rules for existing public housing sites.
