SB1017 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to expand the powers of the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

SB1017 grants the Department of Land and Natural Resources additional powers, including the ability to reduce or waive lease rentals for public land used for agricultural, pastoral, resort, commercial, industrial, or other business purposes. The bill also allows the department to issue revenue bonds, set fees for various activities, and establish fines for violations of public land use regulations. The department can now plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain lands or facilities without needing special permits.
