Prohibits parking on Iolani Palace grounds and mandates pedestrian areas.

This bill aims to restore respect and dignity to Iolani Palace by prohibiting parking on its grounds, except for deliveries and administrative purposes.

The Department of Accounting and General Services must submit a cost analysis and proposed legislation by 2026. The Department of Land and Natural Resources will develop and maintain the new pedestrian area. The changes will take effect on January 1, 2026.
