RELATING TO OCEAN USER SAFETY.

SB 1457 allows Hawaii's Board of Land and Natural Resources to create temporary safety rules for water sports equipment used in commercial rentals (like kayaks or paddleboards) and recreational activities. This would directly affect businesses that rent such equipment and individuals using them in ocean activities. The bill grants the Board authority to develop these interim rules but does not specify any particular safety requirements or outcomes. It is a procedural measure focused on enabling future rulemaking, not implementing new restrictions.
