Appropriates funds for maintenance dredging at state boating facilities in Hawaii.

The bill appropriates funds for maintenance dredging at state small boat harbors, boat launch ramp facilities, and other state boating facilities and waterways in Hawaii. It aims to address the issue of marine sediment and foreign debris accumulation that can damage ships and potentially shut down these facilities. The funds will be used for design, permitting, and dredging work, and the Department of Land and Natural Resources will include line-item funding for maintenance dredging in its annual budget requests starting from fiscal year 2027-2029.
