OPPOSING CONDEMNATION OR THREATS OF CONDEMNATION BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CONTROL OF POHAKULOA AND ANY STATE LAND.

SCR 25 is a Hawaii Senate Concurrent Resolution opposing the U.S. federal government's potential use of condemnation to take control of Pohakuloa training area land when the Army's lease expires in 2029. The resolution states Hawaii opposes both actual condemnation and threats of condemnation of state land, emphasizing that state sovereignty and existing legal processes - not federal condemnation - should govern land transactions. It specifically references Pohakuloa's cultural significance to Native Hawaiians, its ecological value, and the state's fiduciary duty to protect public trust land. As a procedural resolution, it does not alter laws but formally expresses Hawaii's position to federal authorities.
