Requesting The Department Of Land And Natural Resources To Convene A Working Group Relating To Shooting Facilities On Hawaii Island.
Impact
If implemented, the working group will be tasked with a comprehensive set of objectives, including identifying the fundamental requirements for shooting venues catering to various shooting types—ranging from rifles to archery. They are also expected to create a preliminary design for these facilities, considering required land size, safety zone needs, and infrastructure necessary for operation. The working group will evaluate potential locations and the ecological and infrastructural impacts of constructing these facilities.
Summary
Senate Resolution 158 requests the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to convene a working group focused on the development of shooting facilities on Hawaii Island. The resolution acknowledges the potential of these facilities to support the training of hunters and recreational shooters while fostering safe gun practices. It underscores the importance of effective planning and oversight to ensure that shooting venues operate safely and responsibly. The intent is to carefully address community needs and environmental considerations in the development of such facilities.
Contention
A significant aspect of SR158 lies in its provision for a requirements manual that outlines facility specifications while prioritizing sustainable practices. Additionally, the working group is mandated to include diverse stakeholders such as recreational shooters, hunters, and relevant government representatives to ensure that multiple perspectives are considered in the planning process. The resolution calls for the submission of a report detailing findings and potential legislation to the Hawaii Legislature ahead of the next session, making the working group's outcomes critical for future shooting facility developments.
