LIHUE, Hawaii (AP) _ Residents who keep cabins at Kokee State Park on Kauai will be able to stay there for at least another 20 years under a bill approved by lawmakers.
That meanings most of the cabins won't open to the public.
The measure attempts to end a fight between the cabin dwellers and the state. Officials wanted to force them to give up their exclusive use of cabins built on public land now that their leases are running out.
The state Department of Land and Natural Resources says only about 20 unoccupied lots in Kauai's mountainous interior will be put up for auction. People occupying 93 currently leased lots will be able to negotiate new leases for at least 20 years with the state at fair market value.
