Kaniela Ing just wrote this on his FB, “My (Zuckerberg-inspired) bill to reform the quiet tile process and give Hawaiian families a fighting chance to hold onto their Kuleana lands has unanimously passed the House! #KeepHawaiianLandsInHawaiianHands”
What the bill does is, “Provides that: (1) actions for quiet title of kuleana lands shall be subject to mandatory mediation; (2) court cases by the same plaintiff that seeks quiet title for separate kuleana lands within the same court circuit shall be consolidated; (3) defendant’s access for cultural and traditional practices shall not be alienated or extinguished; and (4) plaintiff shall not recover costs, expenses, or attorney’s fees from the defendant.”
You can follow the bill here – http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HB&billnumber=860&year=2017
