New law supports traditional kalo cultivation



On Wednesday, May 25, Governor Ige signed House Bill 1768 into law. I introduced HB 1768 this year to address the legal hurdles faced by kalo farmers seeking to exercise traditional and customary cultivation practices. The bill passed with the committed advocacy of the kalo farming community on Kaua'i, support from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and legal guidance from the University of Hawai'i Native Hawaiian Law Clinic and Ka Huli Au Center of Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law.

The new law exempts farmers practicing traditional kalo cultivation from State water leasing requirements. You can read more about this legislation and its impact, as reported in The Garden Island, by clicking HERE.

HB243 addresses sea level rise

A Honolulu Star Advertiser article examines HB243, a measure that I introduced this session that addresses the impact of sea level rise on public infrastructure and requires the Office of Planning to identify facilities vulnerable to sea level rise, flooding impacts and natural hazards, assess options to mitigate impacts to these facilities, and submit annual reports to the Governor, Legislature and the Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission.

Legislation addressing this issue is especially timely due to the $2 trillion infrastructure plan recently introduced by President Biden which could help Hawaii with its coastal infrastructure problems. Having a State plan that specifically addresses these infrastructure issues is an important step towards securing federal funding for these areas of concern. To read the full article and to learn more about this issue, please click here.

Having passed out of both the House and Senate with amendments, HB243 now goes to Conference Committee, where legislators from both chambers will need to come to an agreement on a final version for the bill to become law.
