HI HB875

Creates the International Moon Base Alliance, a committee composed of representatives from Hawaiian aerospace organizations, NASA, federal agencies, international space agencies, corporations, and space advocacy groups to guide development of a prototype moon base on Hawaii's Big Island.

Directs the alliance to hold its first organizational teleconference by August 1, 2019, and submit a strategic plan for prototype moon base development to the governor and legislature before the 2020 regular legislative session.

Appropriates funds from general revenues for fiscal year 2019-2020 to the Office of Aerospace Development to support the alliance's work on the prototype moon base project (specific amount left blank in bill text).

Establishes that Hawaii's strategic location near the equator, aerospace expertise, Moon-like terrain, and existing space infrastructure position the state to benefit from the growing global space industry, projected to expand from $350 billion to over $1.1 trillion by 2040.

Sets the effective date of the Act as July 1, 2112.
