Requesting an audit of funds allocated to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands under Act 279.

The bill requests the Auditor to conduct an audit of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands' expenditures under Act 279, Session Laws of Hawaii 2022. Act 279 appropriated $600,000,000 to eliminate the DHHL waitlist by providing land and housing to native Hawaiians. The audit will review the department's use of these funds, including the number of applicants assisted and the status of the waitlist. The resolution notes that despite the appropriation, the waitlist has grown, and the department's annual report has not yet been made public.
