SB1417 requires the Hawaii Community Development Authority to consider the impacts of climate change, sea level rise, and climate-resilient development in the design and siting of buildings in the Kakaako and Kalaeloa community development districts.
The Hawaii State Senate passed SB1417 on May 4, 2023 by a vote of 24 to 1. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill aligns with the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 climate change plan. Additionally, this legislation increases government interference in the free-market economy and promotes the Marxist climate change agenda.
