Relating To Harbors.

Impact

By repealing Section 266-2.3, which allowed vessels with specific use permits to moor in Kewalo Basin and Honolulu Harbor under certain conditions, the bill impacts operational procedures for vessels engaging in commercial fishing and maritime transport. Furthermore, repealing Section 266-22 eliminates the state's obligation to maintain costs associated with the operation of a fire boat, which could shift financial responsibility to other alternative sources or agencies.

Summary

House Bill 2180 focuses on repealing certain sections of the Hawaii Revised Statutes pertaining to harbor operations, specifically related to the mooring of vessels. The bill aims to streamline regulations by removing provisions that are deemed obsolete or unnecessary, thus simplifying the management of state harbors.

Contention

While the bill is designed to enhance efficiency by eliminating redundant regulations, there may be varying opinions regarding the implications for local businesses reliant on harbor operations. Supporters may view this as a necessary step towards modernizing harbor law, whereas those concerned with public safety and maritime services may caution against the removal of certain regulations that ensure safety and operational integrity within the harbors.
