As I mentioned above, this bill makes things so complicated it's going to be a difficult few years if it finally gets passed after the veto process. From the same article SBH posted:

"“If enacted, one implication is the UH will pause all work on the preparation of our(Environmental Impact Statement) for a new master lease, as conference draft one imposes a moratorium on all new leases”, said Greg Chun, the Executive Director of Mauna Kea Stewardship. “We will also pause all discussions on the (Mauna Kea Observatories) on new subleases,” Chun added."
