Uh that occurred in 1981. Although operations and management for all public libraries was transferred to the board of education and the state librarian 45 years ago, control over the property for those libraries was never completed. We believe that this is the most efficient and cost-effective way for us to continue with managing our building projects going forward.

And is that the reference you're making as far as amendments? >> Yes. um because the bill does require the state building code council to establish a public dashboard to post all of that permitting data. But if they don't have any financing in order to acquire the software to do that, they're not going to be able to effectuate the appropriation or fuate the measure. Um but they could start by just creating a plan for how they would do that and look at some different companies that they'd be interested in using their software. >> Okay. Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Uh turning next to Senate Bill 3083 relating to protective orders. Um on this one we have US Department of Defense state leazison office Kelly May Douglas on Zoom. Welcome. >> Thank you. Good afternoon chairs, co-chairs or vice chairs and members of the committee.

Uh next we have Brigier General Walter Ross for Hawaii National Guard, State Department of Defense or his designate. Uh next testifying for Military and Community Relations Office at DBED, John Green. Good afternoon, chairs, members of the committee. Thank you for the opportunity to testify. John Green, the deputy director, the military and community relations office. We stand on our written testimony and support. Our office is seeing a need for better communication between the judiciary, police forces, and the military when it comes to protective order notification. Ensuring that military security forces are notified within 24 hours allows commands to take appropriate action, reinforce compliance, and provide additional oversight where necessary. Early awareness supports accountability, helps prevent escalation, and strengthens coordination among agencies responsible for safety and enforcement.

Hearing none, members, we're open to questions. Um, a question for uh libraries. Stacy Mallerie. So, um, what prompted this measure to come before us now? I mean, this has been an issue for a while now, right? So, can you just explain? >> Yes. So, uh, we've had some issues over the years when we do construction projects and we do other things. And so, um, about 6 months ago, we had a construction project that got delayed because of the issue about, um, lack of site control. And so, we, um, so construction got delayed and then we were eventually able to work out a right of um, entry and MOA with the Department of Education. But going forward, it would be helpful if we didn't have to do that. And then even more recently uh not related to the public and school libraries, the Cahului library which we thought we controlled but um completely but I guess Department of Education still noted on the EO the executive order and so the county of Maui and actually Senator Hashimoto is the one that forwarded me the email they're needing DOE to sign off on that for us.

My name is Jesse Hall. I'm a family court judge. Although our testimony looks like we are in opposition, we are not in opposition to the intent of the bill until September of 2025. We did have a system that was in place where we were providing the military with orders for protection against some their the respondents that we knew to be their members. Um, since September 2025, we've lost contact. We are asking that the bill be deferred to give us the opportunity to reconnect with the military so that a better system can be put back in place. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. Next we have um Angelina Marcato testifying for Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

So it's just a lot fewer steps if we can just handle it inhouse for our public libraries. >> So can you explain the delayed lack of site control? Can you explain what what that I'm not sure what why it got delayed. >> Um so the in that particular situation the KL um we're building a brand new library. The current library is in the middle of the parcel. We're building a new library for the public on the edge of the parcel. Um we tried to work with the DOE over the three years to get our CIP project out to bid.
