REQUESTING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ASSESS WHETHER THERE HAS BEEN A SUBSTANTIAL OR MATERIAL BREACH OF GENERAL LEASE NO. 231 EXECUTED BY AND BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS AND THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE.

This resolution requests Hawaii's Attorney General to assess whether the National Park Service breached General Lease No. 231 with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, specifically regarding stewardship of state lands. It asks the Attorney General to determine if the lease should be rescinded or amended, particularly as Kalawao County prepares to transfer to Maui County following the last patient's departure. The request stems from concerns about the National Park Service's workforce reductions potentially impacting its ability to fulfill lease obligations. As a procedural resolution (not a law), it does not change policy but initiates a review of an existing lease agreement.
