MINOR

This bill revision updates the legislative history and findings to reflect the enactment of Act 226, which addressed past-due payments to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. The text clarifies that previous legislation has already resolved specific financial obligations, ensuring the current bill builds upon these prior resolutions rather than duplicating them.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on the public land trust, but the narrative context has shifted to acknowledge that specific historical debts were settled by Act 226.

TIMELINE

Updated the legislative history to reference Act 226 and its Conference Committee Report, establishing a clear timeline for when past-due amounts were addressed.

REQUIREMENT

Refined the legislative findings to explicitly state that Acts 15 and 226 have already covered income owed from 1978 through June 30, 2022.

TECHNICAL

Corrected formatting and citation styles, including updating the House District designation from HD2 to HD3 and adjusting date metadata.
