Hawaii HB1927 aims to integrate green infrastructure into state facility systems, infrastructure, and transit projects to enhance environmental.

Hawaii HB1927 amends the Hawaii State Planning Act to incorporate green infrastructure in state facility systems, infrastructure, and transit projects. The bill promotes the use of vegetation, trees, and green infrastructure to minimize stormwater runoff, reduce the urban heat-island effect, and improve air quality. It also aims to enhance the quality of life by increasing outdoor public green spaces and urban tree canopy. The Office of Planning and Sustainable Development is tasked with making recommendations for implementing these green infrastructure objectives and policies.
