Hawaii HB314 establishes a framework for adaptation pathways planning to address sea level rise and coastal hazards.

Hawaii HB314 mandates the Hawaii climate change mitigation and adaptation commission to develop a framework for adaptation pathways planning. This framework aims to facilitate the adaptation of private and public infrastructure to sea level rise impacts, including relocation and modification of development. The commission must prepare regional adaptation pathways plans, identify high-risk areas, and engage in community-based planning. The bill appropriates funds for this purpose and requires the implementation of these plans by state and county agencies.
