Increases public land trust revenue transfers to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs for Native Hawaiians during federal funding uncertainty.

The bill ensures that the Office of Hawaiian Affairs receives a minimum annual transfer from the public land trust to fulfill the 20% pro rata share required by the Hawaii State Constitution. It temporarily raises the cap on these transfers for fiscal years 2026 through 2028 to support Native Hawaiian communities amid federal funding disruptions. This increase aims to maintain stability and support for Native Hawaiian-serving programs, acknowledging the Office of Hawaiian Affairs' role in bridging funding gaps.
