AI Summary

  • Disapproves the Board of Land and Natural Resources' September 9, 2010 decision to transfer approximately 6,600 acres of former Kulani Correctional Facility lands to the Department of Land and Natural Resources as an extension of Pu'u Maka'ala Natural Area Reserve and approximately 600 acres to the Department of Defense for a Youth Challenge Academy.

  • Requires the Department of Land and Natural Resources and Department of Defense to conduct a further review and assessment of the environmental and fiscal implications and benefits of the proposed land transfers before proceeding.

  • Mandates that both departments report their findings and recommendations to the Legislature no later than twenty days prior to the Regular Session of 2012.

  • Cites concerns that the rapid transfer timeline gives communities insufficient time to assess impacts, and questions whether the proposed uses represent the best possible use of the state resource, particularly regarding Youth Challenge Academy funding, land tenure, and facility size requirements.

  • Acknowledges that Kulani Correctional Facility's $8.1 million in state investments since 2000 should not be allowed to sit idle and that the facilities require alternative productive use.
