Hawaii SB403 limits public sector contributions to beach replenishment projects in resort zones to 20%.
Hawaii SB403 amends Chapter 171 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to restrict public sector funding for beach replenishment projects in resort areas to no more than 20% of the total project cost. This bill responds to the 2021 Waikiki beach replenishment project, where the public sector paid $2,500,000, while the private sector contributed $1,000,000. The new law aims to ensure that the travel industry, which benefits substantially from these projects, contributes a larger share of the costs.
