State lawmakers on Monday, April 6, will convene an informational briefing to get information about the Hawaiʻi Hurricane Relief Fund.

A portion of Ke Ala Hele Makālae from Keālia Beach to Palikū Beach was closed because of debris caused by a powerful kona low — the first of two back-to-back kona lows in March — that struck Kauaʻi in mid-March.

The briefing is scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday, April 6, in Conference Room 329 at the state Capitol in Honolulu.

It comes at a critical time as Hawaiʻi continues to respond to impacts from recent back-to-back kona lows that slammed into the state in March.

Representatives from Hawaiʻi Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Insurance Division, Hawaiʻi Property Insurance Association and Hawaiʻi Hurricane Relief Fund will cover the status of Act 296, aimed at stabilizing the state’s property insurance market and ensuring coverage remains available when private insurers are unable to meet demand.

They will also provide lawmakers and the public an update about flood insurance coverage throughout the state.

The informational briefing will be given to a joint meeting of Hawaiʻi House Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce and Hawaiʻi Senate Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection.
