I haven't seen any media reports about the latest hearing on SB3090 SD1. Over the weekend I emailed someone involved in the case and this was their reply. The bill isn't dead but will be amended and sent to the Senate.
"The Ways and Means Committee passed the bill out with amendments. We will now expect to see SB 3090 S.D. 2 with the amendments incorporated. It will then be voted on by the full Senate, and assuming that it is approved will be sent to the House.
Most of the amendments are legalistic and technical. Here is a summary:
------------------------------------------------
Take the Attorney General recommendation to amend chapter 199 to give DOCARE and the county police department the power to enforce Mauna Kea regulations
Clean up any constitutional concerns, Article VII, Section 5, is applicable, related to appropriations
Clean up amendments to replace references to chapter 171,
Clean up amendments to delete reference to renewable energy producers
Clean up amendments to replace “department” with “authority”
Committee report will suggest further discussion on hunting and NARS
DLNR recommendation will be adopted that will clean up amendments to explicitly state that the Maunakea authority is prohibited from selling public lands and that the DLNR's recommendation that all reference to purchase will be deleted
The UH System’s recommendations to clarify section 45, that revenues to OHA only applies to use of public land trust lands
The DLNR suggestions of amendments to clarify chapter 92 that the sunshine law does apply to the Maunakea authority
Kahea’s recommendation page 3, line 8 – 11, delete references to self-funding
Appropriation is blank"
