Bill > SB1018

This bill requires sellers and their real estate agents of properties located adjacent to the shoreline to disclose comprehensive information about shoreline erosion when advertising the property. Specifically, the bill amends Section 508D-15 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to mandate that sellers and agents must now reveal all permitted and unpermitted erosion control structures on the parcel, including the expiration dates of any permitted structures, any notices of alleged violations associated with the property, and any fines related to expired or unpermitted structures. This legislation aims to provide potential buyers with complete and accurate information about the erosion-related challenges and legal status of shoreline properties, ensuring transparency in real estate transactions. The bill will take effect upon approval and does not retroactively impact rights, penalties, or proceedings that occurred before its effective date.
