THIRTIETH LEGISLATURE, 2019

 

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

relating to affordable housing projects in community development districts.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 

     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that the entitlement process for affordable housing projects in community development districts needs to be clearer.  When a county or state project is being developed in a community development district, the developers must formally consult with the Hawaii community development authority.  However, the statute does not explicitly require similar consultation by developers with the authority for an affordable housing development in a community development district.  Greater transparency will be achieved if developers must consult with the authority when building affordable housing projects in community development districts.

     The purpose of this Act is to clarify the entitlement process for affordable housing projects developed pursuant to section 201H-38, Hawaii Revised Statutes, within a community development district by requiring developers to consult with the Hawaii community development authority.

     SECTION 2.  Section 206E-13, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

     "[[]§206E-13[]]  Public and affordable housing projects.  Any project or activity of any county [or], agency of the State, or eligible housing project developed pursuant to section 201H-38 in a designated district shall be constructed, renovated, or improved in consultation with the authority."

     SECTION 3.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2019.
