The DLNR Division of State Parks is lessening restrictions and reopening park areas in conjunction with various county-specific rules and guidelines. Passive beach use is now allowed at all State Parks beaches, although some gates will remain locked for resource management, people’s safety and due to fiscal constraints. COVID-19 rules and social distancing guidelines remain applicable, following each county’s emergency orders. State Park camping and lodging will be phased in more slowly, again in compliance with county restrictions, but it is anticipated most overnight facilities will be open by July 1. State Park lodging and camping facilities are NOT allowable quarantine locations. “We are pleased that Hawaiʻi has been so successful in flattening the COVID-19 curve, which allows us to reopen more park areas - particularly some overnight opportunities, which lets families further enjoy Hawaiʻiʻs outdoors”, said State Parks Administrator Curt Cottrell. “However, please be aware that restrictions on park hours, group size, and certain activities remain in place, and we ask that all parks users adhere to these so we can keep slowly proceeding back to normal”. Kauaʻi: • All Kauaʻi Parks have reopened, including popular lookouts in Kokeʻe/Waimea Canyon and Wailua River State Park. • Camping and Lodging in Kokeʻe State Park is now available, subject to COVID-19 restrictions. Reservations are now open, and limited to a 30-day advance window, and all groups must be members of the same household. • Other Kauaʻi camping opportunities remain closed for non-coronavirus reasons (Polihale State Park and Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park), but are anticipated to be available soon, for camping dates opening on June 16. • Commercial boat tours, including kayak tours within Wailua River State Park and Zodiac Tours to Nāpali Coast (Nuʻalolo Kai) have been authorized to resume operations, subject to COVID-19 restrictions. • Polihale State Park remains closed for road repairs.

Senate Vice President Michelle Kidani authored the following statement supported by the entire Hawai‘i State Senate Majority Caucus: We share the grief of our fellow citizens and send our heartfelt prayers to the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless other victims of the enduring, violent racism in our nation. Across the country and the globe, we are witnessing humanity’s ache for justice, equality, and accountability. We cannot achieve a more perfect union without first acknowledging and challenging the systemic, institutionalized racism that continues to define our society. We believe that it is our kuleana to support and empower any community experiencing oppression and to ensure the same freedoms for all. Here in Hawaiʻi, we value the diversity of our residents and celebrate our abundance of culture with pride. It is our conviction that people from all walks of life are equal, and truly deserving of their right to respect, dignity, and opportunity. Aloha cannot only be defined as an expression of compassion, but must also be demonstrated through the actions of empathy we freely share. We know that more must be done to uphold the integrity of our values and we remain steadfast in our commitment to seeing those changes come to fruition. The Hawaiʻi State Senate acknowledges that all lives cannot matter until black lives and the lives of all people of color matter. We stand in solidarity alongside all who aim to make this country more equitable for all people of color. We support the efforts of peaceful protests taking place throughout our state, our country, and the world. We will continue to strive for inclusivity, equality, and justice for all.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell today announced that the film and television industry will be able to reopen for production and on-location filming starting Friday, June 5. Governor David Ige approved the request by the City and County of Honolulu as part of Honolulu’s Amended Emergency Order 2020-15. “Honolulu has been the premier tropical location for filming since the early 1900’s, and we have missed their presence around the island, and strong contribution to a diversified economy,” said Mayor Caldwell. “I want to thank the many industry members and representatives, including the State and Neighbor Island County film offices, who helped the Honolulu Film Office put together such comprehensive guidelines. In addition to production requirements in general, it includes a modified quarantine process for out of state productions which have historically put Hawai‘i on the map as a safe yet exotic film location. The guidelines are the key to reopening this important part of our local economy and creative community.” Guidelines. The reopening of production requires following health and safety guidelines taken from a deep dive into guidelines and best practices from around the world of the motion picture, television, and commercial production industries. The guidelines are a framework for set safety procedures, physical distancing, symptoms awareness, protective measures, and considerations for security, catering, and other standard departments on a typical set, and are designed to be complimentary to working protocols that unions and guilds are establishing. Permitting requirements. The restart of the film and television industry under this amendment applies to production doing business on the island of O‘ahu. Productions will still be required to get the usual permits for city jurisdictions from the Honolulu Film Office, state permits from the Hawaii Film Office as they are allowed to issue, and the standard agreements usually obtained for filming on private property. Permitting services through the Honolulu Film Office will be in effect starting June 5. While a city permit is not required for private locations, we are requiring that productions register any activity with the Honolulu Film Office in case location information is ever needed for the purposes of a COVID-19 outbreak and immediate contact tracing. Modified Quarantine. For out-of-state productions seeking to film on O‘ahu, a modified quarantine process will be in place for use by the film and television industry until the 14-day quarantine requirement for out of state visitors and returning residents is lifted. The process includes testing of travelers prior to boarding a flight to Honolulu, testing several days after arrival, and creating a ‘quarantine bubble’ of limited travel on island only between the hotel/residence and reporting to a place of work. If no testing is completed, the 14 day quarantine applies. Those seeking to restart their production activity on O‘ahu are encouraged to read and follow the guidelines to the fullest extent practicable. To view the guidelines, head here: http://www.honolulu.gov/ecodev/film-office.html If there are any questions regarding film and television production on O‘ahu, please contact the Honolulu Film Office at 808-768-6100 or by email at info@filmhonolulu.com.
