Establishes a working group to assess utility infrastructure capacity and lifespan in Hawaii.

The bill establishes a temporary working group within the Public Utility Commission to study the current capacity of utility services, the expected lifespan of existing coastline infrastructure, and the financial implications of necessary expansions in counties with populations exceeding five hundred thousand. The working group will develop assessments and recommendations, including proposed legislation, to be submitted to the legislature before the 2027 session. The group will analyze current infrastructure capacity, identify financial impacts, and review existing plans for upgrades.
