HI SR180

Requests that governmental bodies recognize the Legislature's intent that trespass laws not apply to construction cranes or other machinery that temporarily intrude into neighboring airspace during affordable housing construction.

Applies only when the intrusion does not materially interfere with the neighboring landowner's actual use of the premises and is directly related to construction, maintenance, or repair of affordable housing as defined in Hawaii Revised Statutes section 201H-57.

Cites Hawaii's affordable housing crisis and the U.S. Supreme Court's recognition that airspace beyond the immediate reaches above private land is part of the public domain.

Requires certified copies be transmitted to the Chief Justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court, Attorney General, and the prosecutors of Honolulu, Hawaii County, Maui County, and Kauai County.
