AI Summary
This bill requires the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development, in collaboration with various state and county agencies, to study and develop a shared statewide housing and infrastructure data platform. This platform will consolidate information on housing projects in development, known as the "housing pipeline," and the infrastructure needed to support them, aiming to improve decision-making and investments in housing and infrastructure. The bill also mandates the creation of a fiscal model to assess the financial impacts of development and regional infrastructure investments on public entities, ensuring that housing development is fiscally sustainable. Funds are appropriated for consulting services and staff to support this project, which is intended to address Hawaii's significant housing shortage by better tracking and facilitating the timely delivery of housing units.
