Bill Summary · SB 2367

Legislative bill overview

SB 2367 relates to state boating facilities in Hawaii, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available information. The bill has passed first reading and is currently under review by the Water, Land, and Agriculture (WLA) committee and the Ways and Means (WAM) committee, with a public hearing scheduled for February 6, 2026.

Why is this important

Boating facilities are critical infrastructure for Hawaii's economy, recreation, and transportation across the islands. Legislation affecting these facilities can impact commercial fishing operations, tourism, public access to waterways, and state revenue through harbor operations and licensing fees.

Potential points of contention

  • Funding and budgetary impact: The bill's referral to the Ways and Means committee suggests potential appropriations or fiscal implications that may affect the state budget or require new funding mechanisms
  • Public access vs. private interests: Changes to state boating facilities often involve balancing public recreational access with commercial operators' needs and private developer interests
  • Maintenance and operational costs: Any modifications to facilities could shift responsibility or costs between the state, counties, and private entities
