WHEREAS, Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii 2011, establishes a comprehensive information system for public lands to be used for the inventory and maintenance of information relating to the public land trust, also known as ceded lands, and other state lands; and
WHEREAS, the land inventory required to be taken and information to be maintained will be important tools to assist the State to manage its public lands; and
WHEREAS, all state and county agencies are directed to assist the Department of Land and Natural Resources ("Department") in facilitating the establishment of the comprehensive information system for public lands; and
WHEREAS, the Department shall also determine what other information would be useful to include in the inventory; and
WHEREAS, insufficient information on underutilized land and public facilities is exacerbating a loss of revenues for the State; and

BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-sixth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2012, that the Department of Land and Natural Resources is urged to expand the scope of the comprehensive information system established pursuant to Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii 2011, to inventory and maintain information about the lands of the public land trust described in section 5(f) of the Admission Act and article XII, section 4, of the Hawaii State Constitution to further include public facilities, thereby creating a comprehensive asset management system for public lands and facilities; and
