AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Hawaii Housing Policy: Gov. Josh Green signed SB 2061 into law (Act 121), expanding the Ninety-Nine Year Leasehold Program to grow affordable, owner-occupied condominium homeownership on state and county land, including a Kakaʻako pilot; at least 60% of units must be affordable to households earning up to 140% of area median income. Voting Access: Green also signed SB 2239 (Act 67), setting up automatic voter registration statewide starting Jan. 1, 2027, when residents apply for or renew a driver’s license or state ID unless they opt out. Public Health & Enforcement: Neighbors near a Lehua Avenue junkyard in Pearl City are pushing back as the state Department of Health seeks a $55,000 fine over alleged debris releases into Waiawa Stream, with residents citing dust and breathing problems. Local Courts & Accountability: The AG’s Special Investigation and Prosecution Division charged former Honolulu Foodbank-related city employee Dexter Kishida with theft, forgery, and official misconduct tied to an alleged $800,000 scheme. Elections & Civic Institutions: OHA’s 2026 trustee election is underway with multiple crowded races and major decisions ahead, including Kakaʻako Makai development and potential KITV ownership talks. Regional Security: Philippine Navy and Coast Guard crews arrived in Pearl Harbor for RIMPAC 2026, underscoring Indo-Pacific interoperability as the exercise runs June 24–July 31. Defense Funding Watch: The Pentagon told senators it needs about $80B for the Iran war, as lawmakers weigh supplemental spending amid skepticism of the administration’s next steps.
