- A US appeals court panel ruled that Hawaii can enforce a law banning firearms on its beaches, parks, bars, and restaurants that serve alcohol.
- The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by a group of Maui residents who sought to block the 2023 state law prohibiting the carrying of firearms on the sand and in other sensitive places.
- The panel affirmed the ruling for beaches, parks, bars, and restaurants that serve alcohol, but reversed the ruling for banks and certain parking lots.
- A temporary landfill in Olowalu, Hawaii, is storing debris from a wildfire that destroyed the town of Lahaina, sparking a legal fight over its use and potential permanent site.
- The landfill is near a coral reef and Native Hawaiian cultural sites, raising concerns about environmental and cultural impacts.
- The county is seeking to seize a private quarry for a permanent dump site, but the landowner is contesting the effort, sparking worries about contamination of soil, groundwater, and the ocean, as well as the potential desecration of ancient Hawaiian burial sites.
