HI SR183

Urges the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to notify beneficiaries through beneficiary consultation (minimum 45-day input period) before disposing of Hawaiian home lands or extending leases to non-beneficiaries.

Requires the Department to refrain from disposing of available lands unless there are no applicants on waitlists seeking leases under sections 207(a) or 207(c)(1)(B) of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act.

Mandates that non-beneficiary lessees or licensees enter into homestead beneficiary agreements providing amenities and funding to homestead associations as a condition of trust land disposition.

Requires the Department to submit quarterly reports to the Legislature and beneficiaries on inventory of formerly leased properties and disposition status of homestead properties, and maintain this information on its website.

Directs the Department to conduct property auctions for beneficiaries on the waitlist at least twice per year and notify beneficiaries before establishing additional criteria for native Hawaiian leases.
