Hawaii SB268 modifies island burial councils to focus on Native Hawaiian cultural practices.
Hawaii SB268 amends the composition of island burial councils to prioritize members with a deep understanding of Native Hawaiian cultural practices. The bill reduces the number of council members and removes the requirement for representatives of development and large landowner interests. Each council will consist of seven members, with the Moloka`i council having five members. At least two regional representatives for each council must be appointed from a list submitted by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
