Hawaii HB261 establishes a special fund for homeless case management and amends loitering laws on public property.

Hawaii HB261 creates the homeless case management special fund within the state treasury to support the homeless case management program. The fund will be used for services for individuals experiencing homelessness, including referrals for appropriate services. The bill also amends loitering laws, making it a petty misdemeanor to remain on public property for more than two hours between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. The proceeds of the fund will come from appropriations, interest, grants, and donations. The judiciary will manage the fund and submit an annual report to the legislature.
