HB752

Establishes an environmental stewardship fee for visitors to Hawaii's natural areas to fund conservation efforts.

Hawaii HB752 establishes an environmental stewardship fee program to collect fees from visitors to state parks, beaches, forests, and other natural areas. The fees will fund the protection, restoration, and enhancement of Hawaii's natural resources. Visitors aged 15 and older must pay the fee and obtain a license to access these areas. The Department of Land and Natural Resources will administer the program, including setting up a special fund for the collected fees.
