Bill Summary
Authorizes a county to reduce the number of housing units that may be built within any portion of the county only if the county increases the number of housing units that may be built elsewhere in the county, such that there is no net loss in residential capacity. Effective 4/23/2057. (SD1)
AI Summary
This bill amends Hawaii's existing statutes to establish a new regulation for county housing development. Specifically, the bill requires that if a county wants to reduce the number of housing units in any particular area, it must simultaneously increase housing units in another area to ensure there is no net loss of overall residential capacity. This means that while a county can adjust its housing plans geographically, it cannot decrease the total number of potential housing units within its jurisdiction. The provision aims to maintain housing availability and prevent potential reductions in housing stock that could negatively impact local housing supply. The bill will become effective on April 23, 2057, which is a future date that allows ample time for counties to prepare for and implement this new housing management requirement.
