HR 8219 Signed into law

Sponsored by Jill N. Tokuda (D)

Lahaina National Heritage Area Study Act

Directs the National Park Service to study whether Lahaina, Hawaii, should become a National Heritage Area.

Tradeoff

The law orders a study only. It does not designate Lahaina as a National Heritage Area.

What's in it

See official bill text

Increases discretionary spending by less than $500,000 over 2025-2029, with no effect on direct spending or revenues.

The under-$500,000 figure is the federal cost of a Park Service study and report on whether Lahaina should become a National Heritage Area, not the cost of building or operating one.
