The bill authorizes $30 million per year for 10 years, allows up to 5% of each year’s funding for administration, requires consultation with Native Hawaiian organizations, sets rules to enable small or Native Hawaiian–led projects to receive full federal funding, and requires annual public requests for proposals and yearly reports to Congress listing funded projects and their status.
