HI HB389

Establishes the Heeia community development district in Koolaupoko, Oahu, encompassing approximately 405 acres of wetlands acquired by the Hawaii Community Development Authority in 1991.

Designates the Hawaii Community Development Authority as the local redevelopment authority to facilitate culturally appropriate agriculture, education, and natural-resource restoration and management of the Heeia wetlands.

Requires the authority to consult with recorded landowners, Hawaiian civic clubs, and neighborhood boards (Kailua, Kahaluu, and Kaneohe) on activities related to cultural practices, agriculture, education, and natural-resource restoration.

Adds three voting members to the authority board appointed by the governor to represent the district; these members may only vote on district-related issues and must be residents of the district or broader Koolaupoko area.

Establishes the Heeia community development revolving fund to receive all revenues, grants, donations, and legislative appropriations for district purposes, with funds to be used only for implementing the district's master plan.
