Hawaii SB366 aims to safeguard the state's natural resources and public safety by prohibiting the storage of personal property in or near public streams and tributaries. The bill defines personal property as tangible items excluding vehicles and vessels. Storage for over 24 hours will be considered abandoned, and the department can dispose of such items. This measure responds to incidents where debris from tributaries caused hazardous conditions, harming ecosystems and disrupting recreational activities.
