A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to administrative procedure.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 91-13.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsections (c) and (d) to read as follows:
"(c) All such issuing agencies shall take
action to grant or deny any application for a business or development-related
permit, license, or approval within the established maximum period of time[,
or the application shall be deemed approved; provided that a delay in granting
or denying an application caused by the lack of quorum at a regular meeting of
the issuing agency shall not result in approval under this subsection; provided
further that any subsequent lack of quorum at a regular meeting of the issuing
agency that delays the same matter shall not give cause for further extension,
unless an extension is agreed to by all parties].
(d) Notwithstanding any other law to the
contrary, any agency that reviews and comments upon an application for a
business or development-related permit, license, or approval for a housing
project developed under section 201H-38 shall respond within forty-five days of
receipt of the application[, or the application shall be deemed acceptable
as submitted to the agency]."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
