Governor Neil Abercrombie urged lawmakers to pass House Bill 2521 Monday, which will settle a ceded lands revenue dispute between Native Hawaiians and the state.

The $200 million deal will settle ceded lands claims with the Office of Hawaiian affairs over revenue generated from sites from the airport, state housing and state hospitals.

In November, Gov. Neil Abercrombie and OHA announced they had reached a tentative settlement agreement on all claims through July 1, 2012.

The agreement would give OHA land in Kakaako, near the waterfront park. In exchange, OHA will wave all ceded land claims from 1978 through June.

Ceded lands, once owned by the Hawaiian monarchy, are now held in trust by the state for the benefit of Native Hawaiians and the general public.

OHA's current share of ceded lands receipts is about $15.1 million a year.

The Governor will continue his testimony on a similar bill in the Senate, SB 2783, Monday afternoon. Lawmakers must approve the measure.
