RE: H.R. No. 64
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R.
No. 64 entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE KO OLINA GOLF CLUB OWNERS
AND MANAGEMENT, IN COORDINATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION, TO IMPLEMENT MEASURES TO PREVENT GOLF BALLS
FROM REACHING FARRINGTON HIGHWAY,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Ko Olina Golf
Club owners and management, in coordination with the Department of
Transportation, to implement measures to prevent golf balls from
reaching Farrington Highway.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Transportation and one individual.
Your Committee finds that increasing commuter traffic on
Farrington Highway and the proximity of certain Ko Olina Golf Club
holes pose a safety risk due to stray golf balls hitting vehicles
and pedestrians. This measure seeks to mitigate potential
accidents and injuries due to stray golf balls from Ko Olina Golf
Club entering the Highway.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your
2025—2854 HR64 HSCR HMSO
