HCR 10 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO ESTABLISH A PERMANENT LANDFILL HOST BENEFITS PROGRAM AND PROGRAM ADVISORY GROUP.

This House Concurrent Resolution (HCR 10) urges the City and County of Honolulu to create a permanent program compensating communities hosting landfills and establish a community-led advisory group. It specifically addresses health and financial burdens faced by residents near landfills, including increased asthma risks, medical costs, and home repairs due to dust pollution. The resolution cites a 2022 committee recommendation to formalize these benefits, building on past annual funding (2006-2009) for the Leeward Coast community. It does not create new law but formally requests Honolulu to implement these measures to support affected neighborhoods.
