REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO RELOCATE, WITH DIGNITY, THE HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS FROM THE WAIANAE SMALL BOAT HARBOR AND PROVIDE A TIMELINE FOR REMOVAL.
This Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 238) requests the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to relocate homeless encampments at the Waianae Small Boat Harbor "with dignity" and provide the Legislature with a written timeline for removal. It directly affects homeless individuals currently residing at the harbor and aims to address reported incidents of encampments damaging boats and blocking public access. The resolution does not create new law but formally asks DLNR to take specific action and report back. The request is part of Hawaii's 2025 legislative session (S.C.R. No. 7-33).
