RELATING TO THE HAWAII PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY.

SB 1414 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes section 356D-6.7 to allow the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA) to close any of its property parcels to the public. This bill directly affects HPHA-managed housing properties by expanding the authority's ability to restrict public access to all its land holdings, not just specific areas previously covered. The key provision changes the legal definition in the statute to include "all" HPHA parcels as locations where public access closures may be implemented. The bill is currently pending introduction in the 2025 legislative session and does not specify conditions or reasons for closures, only enabling the authority to make such decisions under the amended law.
