URGING THE UNITED STATES NAVY TO NOT CHARGE THE STATE RENT FOR THE USE OF THE KALAELOA FILM STUDIO LAND AND FACILITIES AND ENTER INTO A LONG-TERM LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE FOR SUCH USE.

This bill is a House Resolution that urges the United States Navy to waive rent charges for the State of Hawaii's use of the Kalaeloa Film Studio facilities and to establish a long-term lease agreement for their continued operation. The resolution directs the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to develop a three-year business plan and strategic vision for the studio, ensuring it aligns with the state's broader film industry goals. It aims to support Hawaii's film and television sector by maintaining access to affordable studio space, which is critical for the industry's competitiveness and economic growth. The measure is non-binding and serves as a formal recommendation to federal and state agencies rather than creating enforceable legal obligations.
