Summary:
The Water and Land Committee met on April 7 and heard testimony on several resolutions and one bill. SB 2405 SD1 HD2, relating to agricultural workforce housing, received support from the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity, HFTC, and the Hawaii Farmers Union, and the committee later recommended passage as is; one member voted with reservations citing department cost and staffing concerns. The committee also heard HCR 19/HR 20 designating March as March for Water Month, HCR 63/HR 57 urging DLNR and DOT to clarify jurisdiction over Honouliuli Bridge, HCR 85/HR 77 on transferring parcels for the East Kapolei TOD project, HCR 140/HR 132 on vegetation management and fuel reduction in West Maui, HCR 166/HR 156 on identifying East Oahu lands for native Hawaiian tree planting, HCR 82/HR 74 on basic shelter standards for rapid deployment housing, HCR 98/HR 90 on a Honolulu housing pattern book, HCR 104/HR 96 on North Shore coastal trails, HCR 106/HR 98 on endorsing Waikiki as a world surfing reserve, HCR 141/HR 133 on Maui fire code enforcement, and HCR 165/HR 155 on permanent pickleball nets and lighting at Kamiloiki Community Park.
Testimony was generally supportive on most measures, with several agencies and organizations submitting written comments or appearing in support. HCR 82/HR 74 drew the most discussion: the State Council on Developmental Disabilities supported the intent but asked that accessibility be considered on the front end, while another testifier opposed the resolution, arguing it could turn temporary emergency shelters into permanent substandard housing and should be deferred. Committee members discussed temporary versus permanent housing standards and accessibility, and the chair later said the measure would be amended to require permanent units to meet appropriate code standards and to note accessibility concerns in the committee report. On HCR 140/HR 132, DLNR testified that firebreak maintenance on its Waianae lands would be costly, and members noted funding and staffing implications.
At the end of the meeting, the committee adopted the chair’s recommendations on the measures it voted on. SB 2405 was passed with a reservation from one member; HCR 19/HR 20, HCR 63/HR 57, HCR 85/HR 77, HCR 98/HR 90, HCR 104/HR 96, HCR 106/HR 98, HCR 141/HR 133, and HCR 165/HR 155 were passed unamended, while HCR 140/HR 132 was passed with reservations and HCR 166/HR 156 and HCR 82/HR 74 were passed with amendments. The committee then adjourned.

Summary:
The Transportation Committee heard testimony on House Bill 4987, the Healey-Driscoll administration’s transportation bond bill centered on long-term municipal road and bridge funding. Administration officials described the bill as a roughly $5.5 billion package that would continue Chapter 90 at $300 million per year for four years, with $100 million allocated by road miles, and also authorize funds for accelerated bridge and pavement work, municipal pavement and Shared Streets and Spaces programs, housing-related transportation improvements, DCR parkway and bridge resilience work, and MBTA rail modernization and reliability. They emphasized that the proposal is backed by Commonwealth Transportation Fund revenues, including registry fees, gas tax, and Fair Share surtax revenue, and said the bill would support local planning, affordability, housing production, and regional rail/electrification efforts.
Committee members and the administration discussed the bill’s housing-related $200 million transportation authorization and the MBTA’s $200 million rail modernization funding, including questions about how flexible those funds would be and how they would support electrification and regional rail. Officials said the housing funds would be kept broad to address transportation barriers that block development, and that the rail money would support locomotive procurements, reliability, and future electrification work, including the Fairmount and Providence corridors and other lines. One member raised concerns about the fiscal outlook and whether a four-year authorization was prudent given possible revenue pressures, but administration witnesses responded that the funding is capital bond authority tied to dedicated transportation revenues rather than operating funds.
Municipal officials and the Massachusetts Municipal Association strongly supported the bill, saying Chapter 90 is essential for predictable local road and bridge maintenance and that the road-mile-based allocation improves equity for smaller and rural communities. Testimony from Sherborn, Conway, and Yarmouth highlighted how the increased funding and multi-year certainty would help towns plan projects, bundle work, and address backlogs, culverts, sidewalks, and resilience needs more efficiently. A Better City and MAPC also supported the bill but urged the committee to use the bond bill to advance broader transportation policy changes and new revenue tools, including electrification timelines, procurement reforms, and possible updates to TNC and other transportation fees. The committee took no vote and adjourned after testimony concluded.
