Hawaii SB1600 establishes a Public Land Trust Working Group to oversee the public land trust inventory and ensure accurate reporting and distribution.

Hawaii SB1600 establishes the Public Land Trust Working Group to address issues with the Public Land Trust Information System (PLTIS). The bill aims to ensure that all ceded lands are accurately inventoried and that income and proceeds from these lands are properly reported and distributed to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs for the benefit of Native Hawaiians. The PLTIS, developed by the Department of Land and Natural Resources, is based on self-reporting by state agencies and counties, which has raised concerns about its completeness and accuracy.
