Hawaii HB964 prohibits unauthorized loitering or camping near state-owned streambanks to protect public safety and the environment.

Hawaii HB964 makes it unlawful to loiter or camp within fifty feet of state-owned streambanks without authorization. Law enforcement can remove individuals if their presence poses risks to public safety, causes pollution, interferes with state management, damages vegetation, or violates laws. Violators receive a notice to vacate and can face fines, community service, or participation in support programs. Exceptions include authorized activities, emergency refuge, and permitted actions. The bill also appropriates funds for enforcement and education efforts.
