Bill > HB373

This bill repeals the sunset provision in Act 45 from the 2024 legislative session, which originally set an expiration date of June 30, 2028 for provisions related to county authorization for mixed-use developments. Specifically, the bill removes the previous sunset clause that would have automatically reverted section 46-15.1 of Hawaii Revised Statutes to its prior form, and instead establishes new reenactment dates of July 1, 2030 and July 1, 2031 based on multiple previous legislative acts. The bill references several past Session Laws of Hawaii (including Acts 141, 102, 80, 90, 98, 31, and 55) that have previously amended similar provisions. While the technical language is complex, the essential purpose appears to be extending and maintaining the counties' existing authority to develop, construct, finance, refinance, or otherwise provide mixed-use developments without interruption. The bill is technically set to take effect on July 1, 3000, which is likely a drafting placeholder and would presumably be corrected before final passage.
