HRS §46-12.5
County lifeguards at state beach parks
This section lets each county provide lifeguards at state beach parks, but only if the county and the state land department agree it's needed. It doesn't require lifeguards anywhere. It's a narrow permission, not a duty.

The statute, as written — State beach park lifeguard services
Each county may provide lifeguard services for any state beach park where the number of swimmers using the beach may warrant a lifeguard, or where water hazards at the beach present a threat to public safety; provided that the county and the department of land and natural resources shall first mutually agree that those services are necessary for the particular beach.
