RE: H.R. No. 197
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty—Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred H.R.
No. 197 entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING TI-IS COUNTY OF MAUI AND THE UNITED
STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO PRIORITIZE AND EXPEDITE THE
PLANNING, FUNDING, AND CONSTRUCTION OF A PERMANENT
REPLACEMENT FOR THE KULANIHAKOI BRIDGE,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to catalyze follow-through on
a desperately needed replacement of the Kulanihakoi Bridge, which
was first constructed in 1911. The replacement process has been
held up since 2018 when initial work on it was started.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from one individual.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 197 and
recommends its adoption.
