Allows ongoing activities to continue while determining if they need environmental review.

This bill clarifies that ongoing activities in Hawaii, which have been previously authorized or permitted, can continue while the appropriate agency decides if they need environmental review. It ensures that these activities can continue to comply with regulatory requirements and avoid disruptions. The bill also allows operators to renew permits during the review process, provided the activities remain compliant with regulations. This aims to prevent long-standing commercial operations from being forced to cease despite their compliance history.
