HONOLULU (March 12, 2012) – Two state House committees advanced a bill to resolve longstanding claims for past-due revenues owed to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

The bill heads to the Judiciary and Finance committees for further consideration.
The proposal could potentially provide OHA with an economic boost to help fund community-based programs aimed at improving conditions for Native Hawaiians.
