HI HB1824

Repeals section 171-8.5 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, which established the Koke'e state park advisory council in 2008.

Dissolves the nine-member voting council (plus four ex-officio members) that was responsible for reviewing and updating the Koke'e state park master plan and assisting in its implementation.

Cites the council's failure to accomplish its responsibilities over four years of existence as justification for abolishment, noting the state lost approximately $300,000 in annual revenues from user fees due to the master plan not being adopted and implemented.

Takes effect upon approval with no transition or wind-down provisions specified for the council's dissolution.
