Wednesday, November 12th, at 9:00 a.m., the Office of Hawaiian Affairs BAE Committee will be hearing Action Item #25-08, which proposes adding to OHA’s 2026 Legislative Package a bill calling for a constitutional amendment (CONAM) in the 2026 election that would prohibit live-fire military training on public trust lands.
