47	47	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Kawaihapai Airfield, or Dillingham Airfield, has been a vital economic and tourism contributor to the economy of Oahu's north shore. In 2019, the airfield had 33,805 aircraft operations, more than Kapalua, Lanai, and Kalaupapa regional airports combined. The legislature further finds that the small business tenants at Kawaihapai Airfield generate over $12,000,000 in yearly revenues and employ over one hundred and thirty people, which include flight instructors, pilots, aircraft maintenance personnel, tour operators, office staff, and more. The legislature also finds that Kawaihapai Airfield is recognized around the world as a premier recreational skydiving and gliding destination. For example, the Travel Channel listed Kawaihapai Airfield as one of the best places in the world to skydive. The travel website TripAdvisor recognized Paradise Air Hang Gliding, a tenant at Kawaihapai Airfield, as one of the top ten per cent of attractions worldwide. The legislature finds that the department of transportation leases Kawaihapai Airfield from the United States Department of the Army. The department of transportation has announced that it plans to exercise the early termination provision of its lease agreement with the U.S. Army as of June 30, 2021, despite the fact that the current lease runs until July 5, 2024. The purpose of this Act is to require the department of transportation to allow the lease to continue and refrain from exercising the early termination provision. SECTION 2. The department of transportation shall allow its agreement with the United States Department of the Army, entitled Supplemental Agreement No. 4 to Department of the Army Lease No. DACA84-1-09-135 to expire on the agreed upon date of July 5, 2024, and shall not terminate the agreement prior to July 5, 2024. SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval. INTRODUCED BY: _____________________________
