No problems have been reported this week with a Hawaiian sovereignty group occupying 'Iolani Palace grounds, a week after the group was briefly denied a new permit for breaking rules.

The Hawaiian Kingdom Government was granted a permit this week, and has followed all rules of the permit, said state Department of Land and Natural Resources spokeswoman Deb Ward.

On May 19, the group was denied a permit through the late afternoon after the state said the group repeatedly broke rules by collecting money on the property and entering off-limits buildings. The group got a new permit after agreeing to certain conditions.

The group must reapply for the permit every week.

The Hawaiian Kingdom Government, one of a number of sovereignty organizations that do not recognize the U.S. government or that of the state, has been occupying palace grounds on weekdays since April 30. It has gotten permits to do so weekly since May 5.
