(AP) — Hawaiʻi lawmakers are introducing legislation that would create a nine-member governing body for Mauna Kea’s summit, where astronomers want to build a new telescope opposed by Native Hawaiian activists. The bill before the state House of Representatives would require a new stewardship authority to limit the development of astronomy on the mountain. The body would also establish a plan to return Mauna Kea’s summit to its natural state, though the legislation doesn’t set a time frame for doing so. Lawmakers drafted the bill in response to a report compiled by a working group formed by House leadership. The legislation has yet to be scheduled for a hearing.
