The state will be seeking comments from Lana'i residents on legalizing thrillcraft riding at a public meeting June 25.

The meeting at Hale Kupuna o Lana'i at 1144 Ilima is scheduled for 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Commercial or recreational use of thrillcraft such as jet skis is prohibited around the islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i. A petition is being circulated on Moloka'i to demonstrate public support for legalizing jet-ski riding, and DLNR held a public meeting there on May 8 to hear from Moloka'i residents.

Legalizing thrillcraft riding would require a change to the administrative rules of the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation.

If accommodation for special needs is required, call Lana'i Harbor agent Sherry Menze (559-0723) or Maui District Manager Nicholas Giaconi (243-5824) at least one week before the meeting.
