47	47	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that in 1978, the Hawaii State Constitution was amended to establish the office of Hawaiian affairs and its board of trustees. Article XII, sections 4, 5, and 6 of the Hawaii State Constitution provide as follows: Section 4. The lands granted to the State of Hawaii by Section 5(b) of the Admission Act and pursuant to Article XVI, Section 7, of the State Constitution, excluding therefrom lands defined as "available lands" by Section 203 of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, as amended, shall be held by the State as a public trust for native Hawaiians and the general public. Section 5. There is hereby established an Office of Hawaiian Affairs. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs shall hold title to all the real and personal property now or hereafter set aside or conveyed to it which shall be held in trust for native Hawaiians and Hawaiians. There shall be a board of trustees for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs elected by qualified voters . . . as provided by law. . . . There shall be not less than nine members of the board of trustees; provided that each of the following Islands have one representative: Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Molokai and Hawaii. The board shall select a chairperson from its members. Section 6. The board of trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs shall exercise power as provided by law: to manage and administer the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the lands, natural resources, minerals and income derived from whatever sources for native Hawaiians and Hawaiians, including all income and proceeds from that pro rata portion of the trust referred to in section 4 of this article for native Hawaiians; to formulate policy relating to affairs of native Hawaiians and Hawaiians; and to exercise control over real and personal property set aside by state, federal or private sources and transferred to the board for native Hawaiians and Hawaiians. The board shall have the power to exercise control over the Office of Hawaiian Affairs through its executive officer, the administrator of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, who shall be appointed by the board. The legislature also finds that Act 273, Session Laws of Hawaii 1980, enacted section 10-13.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to implement the office of Hawaiian affairs' pro rata share and provide that "[t]wenty per cent of all funds derived from the public land trust . . . shall be expended by the office of Hawaiian affairs . . . for the purposes of this chapter." This legislative directive has led to a series of lawsuits concerning the office of Hawaiian affairs' constitutional pro rata share and the statutory allocation of twenty per cent of all funds that the legislature establishes to implement article XII, sections 4 and 6, of the Hawaii State Constitution. In Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs v. Yamasaki, 69 Haw. 154, 737 P.2d 446 (1987), the Hawaii supreme court concluded that it was unable to determine the parameters of section 10‑13.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, because the issue of how the twenty per cent apportionment is formulated was a political question for the legislature to determine. In response to the Yamasaki decision, the office of Hawaiian affairs and the governor's office entered into lengthy negotiations and submitted to the legislature an agreement to clarify the extent and scope of the twenty per cent portion. The legislature, based on this agreement, enacted Act 304, Session Laws of Hawaii 1990. In a memorandum dated April 28, 1993, the office of Hawaiian affairs and the State memorialized the results of their negotiations and noted that the office of planning and office of Hawaiian affairs "recognize and agree that the amount specified in section 1 [thereof] does not include several matters regarding revenue which [the office of Hawaiian affairs] has asserted is due [the office of Hawaiian affairs] and which [the office of planning] has not accepted and agreed to." These disagreements led to litigation. The office of Hawaiian affairs specified that it was seeking its pro rata share of revenues received by the State based on the following: (1) Waikiki Duty Free receipts, in connection with the lease of ceded lands at the Honolulu international airport; (2) Hilo hospital patient services receipts; (3) Receipts from the Hawaii housing authority and the housing finance and development corporation for projects situated on ceded lands; and (4) Interest earned on withheld revenues. On October 24, 1996, the trial court granted the office of Hawaiian affairs' motion for partial summary judgment on each of its aforementioned claims, finding that: (1) The State is required to pay the office of Hawaiian affairs its pro rata portion of rents or fees collected from the duty free concessions at the State's airports; (2) The State's activities of providing affordable housing are proprietary in nature and subject to the office of Hawaiian affairs' pro rata share; (3) Patient service fees, cafeteria sales, and rental income at Hilo hospital "is clearly a proprietary rather than sovereign exercise of power" which does not shield the Hilo hospital's income from being characterized as revenue subject to the office of Hawaiian affairs' pro rata share; and (4) "[t]he State is required to pay [the office of Hawaiian affairs] its pro rata share of the interest earned by the State from ceded land revenues derived from the Public Land Trust." The State appealed. On October 27, 1997, the United States Congress enacted the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998, Public Law 105-66, which provided that moneys paid for claims related to ceded lands and diverted from airport revenues were not subject to repayment. The Act provided further that nothing in the Act was to affect the obligations of the State to native Hawaiians in connection with ceded lands, except to make clear that airport revenues may not be used to satisfy these obligations directly. The office of Hawaiian affairs had previously been paid $28,200,000 from airport revenue funds. On September 12, 2001, the Hawaii supreme court ruled in Office of Hawaiian Affairs v. State of Hawai`i, 96 Haw. 388, 31 P.3d 901 (2001), ("OHA I") that Act 304 (1990) was effectively repealed by its own terms, so that once again, it was necessary for the legislature to clarify the office of Hawaiian affairs' constitutional pro rata share and the statutory allocation of twenty per cent of all funds to be managed and administered by the office of Hawaiian affairs. In its decision, the Hawaii supreme court affirmed Yamasaki, observing: [T]he State's obligation to native Hawaiians is firmly established in our constitution. How the State satisfies that constitutional obligation requires policy decisions that are primarily within the authority and expertise of the legislative branch. As such, it is incumbent upon the legislature to enact legislation that gives effect to the right of native Hawaiians to benefit from the ceded lands trust. See Haw. Const. art. XVI, section 7. . . . [W]e trust that the legislature will re-examine the State's constitutional obligation to native Hawaiians and the purpose of HRS §10‑13.5 and enact legislation that most effectively and responsibly meets those obligations. OHA I, 96 Haw. at 401, 31 P.3d at 914 (citations omitted; emphases in original). On April 28, 2006, the Hawaii supreme court ruled in Office of Hawaiian Affairs v. State of Hawaii, 110 Haw. 338, 366, 133 P.3d 767, 795 (2006) ("OHA II"), that consistent with its ruling in OHA I, "it is incumbent upon the legislature to enact legislation that gives effect to the right of native Hawaiians to benefit from the ceded lands trust." Subsequently, the legislature enacted Act 178, Session Laws of Hawaii 2006, which took effect on June 7, 2006, and specifically acknowledged that "the State's obligation to native Hawaiians is firmly established in the state constitution. (See Haw. Const. art XII)". While the legislature found that "many complex issues require the legislature's further attention and consideration in the wake of the repeal of Act 304," Act 178 was enacted with a stated purpose of providing "interim measures to ensure that an adequate amount of income and proceeds is made available to the office of Hawaiian affairs from the pro rata portion of the public land trust, for the betterment of the conditions of native Hawaiians". Act 178 carried out this interim purpose by requiring "the income and proceeds from the pro rata portion of the public land trust under article XII, section 6, of the state constitution for expenditure by the office of Hawaiian affairs for the betterment of the conditions of native Hawaiians for each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2005-2006 shall be $15,100,000." Specifically, Act 178 noted this interim amount was "until further action is taken by the legislature for this purpose". This $15,100,000 was based, in part, on certain ancillary receipts from the state airports. Subsequently, addressing past-due amounts owed to the office of Hawaiian affairs, Act 15, Session Laws of Hawaii 2012, was enacted to implement an agreement between the State and the office of Hawaiian affairs for the State to convey certain lands in Kakaako Makai on Oahu valued at approximately $200,000,000 to allow the State to give effect to the right of native Hawaiians to benefit from the public land trust and to fulfill its constitutional obligations under article XII, sections 4 and 6 of the Hawaii state constitution for the period between November 7, 1978, up to and including June 30, 2012, relating to the office of Hawaiian affairs' portion of the income and proceeds from the public land trust. However, Act 15 did not address the State's constitutional obligations under article XII, sections 4 and 6 relating to the office of Hawaiian affairs' pro rata share of the income and proceeds from the public land trust generated after June 30, 2012. Act 178, Session Laws of 2006, remained in effect as an interim legislative measure setting the office of Hawaiian affairs' annual income and proceeds from the public land trust for the betterment of the conditions of native Hawaiians at $15,100,000 beginning in fiscal year 2005-2006, pending further legislative action on the subject. The second purpose of Act 178 was identifying "revenue-generating public trust lands and the amounts derived from those lands by requiring that the department of land and natural resources provide an annual accounting to the legislature." Based on the annual accounting of the amounts derived from the public trust and additional research commissioned by the office of Hawaiian affairs of receipts from the public land trust in fiscal year 2015-2016, the minimum amount of total gross public land trust receipts from sources that the office of Hawaiian affairs has a past or current claim was found to be $174,816,220 in fiscal year 2015-2016. Twenty per cent of this amount from fiscal year 2015-2016 is $34,963,244. The legislature finds that it is now in the best interests of the office of Hawaiian affairs, its beneficiaries, the State, and all citizens of Hawaii to enact another interim legislative measure regarding the office of Hawaiian affairs' constitutional pro rata share of the public land trust for the betterment of the conditions of native Hawaiians, in light of the information, data, and facts provided to the legislature by state agencies since the enactment of Act 178, Session Laws of Hawaii 2006, more than a decade ago. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to serve as an interim measure to: (1) Establish $20,000,000 as the office of Hawaiian affairs' annual share of the income and proceeds of the public land trust beginning in fiscal year 2021‑2022. This amount does not include patient service fees generated from state hospitals on public land trust land and residential rental payments and fees generated from state housing facilities on public land trust land, to which the office of Hawaiian affairs has not disclaimed an interest therein; and (2) Require an annual detailed audit of all funds derived from receipts from lands described in section 5(f) of the Admission Act. SECTION 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 10, Hawaii Revised Statutes, including section 10-13.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, and until further action is taken by the legislature for this purpose, the income and proceeds from the pro rata portion of the public land trust under article XII, section 6 of the Hawaii state constitution for expenditure by the office of Hawaiian affairs for the betterment of the conditions of native Hawaiians for each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2021-2022 shall be $20,000,000. SECTION 3. Not later than January 1 of each year, the department of land and natural resources, with the cooperation of the department of budget and finance and any other department or agency that collects receipts from the lands within the public land trust, including the university of Hawaii, shall provide an accounting of all receipts from lands described in section 5(f) of the Admission Act for the prior fiscal year. With respect to each receipt, the department of land and natural resources shall identify: (1) The total gross amount; (2) The amount transferred to the office of Hawaiian affairs; (3) The amount retained by the State; (4) The account or fund in which the amount specified in paragraph (3) was transferred or deposited; (5) The parcel of land subject to section 5(f) of the Admission Act that generated the receipt, whether by tax map key number, department of land and natural resources inventory number, or other recognizable description; and (6) The state department or agency that received the total gross amount identified in paragraph (1). The accounting shall also indicate whether any parcel of land described in section 5(f) of the Admission Act was sold or exchanged in the prior fiscal year and, if so, the amount of consideration that the State received for the respective parcels. SECTION 4. Nothing in this Act shall resolve or settle, or be deemed to acknowledge the existence of, the claims of native Hawaiians to the income and proceeds of a pro rata portion of the public land trust under article XII, section 6, of the Hawaii state constitution. SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2021. INTRODUCED BY: _____________________________
