A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to affordable housing on hawaiian home lands.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 46-15.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) Each county shall issue affordable
housing credits to the department of Hawaiian home lands with respect to
existing and future Hawaiian home lands projects upon a request for such
credits by the department of Hawaiian home lands. The credits shall be
transferable and shall be issued on a one-unit for one-unit basis[.];
provided that credits shall be issued to the department of Hawaiian home lands on
a two-credit for one-unit basis for each unit built for rental purposes. Credits
shall be issued for each single-family residence, multi-family unit, other
residential unit, or if allowed under the county's affordable housing programs,
vacant lot, developed by the department of Hawaiian home lands. The credits
may be applied county-wide within the same county in which the credits were
earned to satisfy affordable housing obligations imposed by the county on [market
priced] market-priced residential and non-residential developments.
County-wide or project-specific requirements for the location of affordable
housing units; housing class, use, or type; construction time; or other county
requirements for affordable housing units shall not impair, restrict, or
condition the county's obligation to apply the credits in full satisfaction of
all county requirements, whether by rule, ordinance, or particular
zoning conditions of a project.
For purposes of this section, "affordable housing obligation" means the requirement imposed by a county, regardless of the date of its enactment, to develop vacant lots, single-family residences, multi-family residences, or any other type of residence for sale or rent to individuals within a specified income range."
SECTION 2. Act 141, Session Laws of Hawaii 2009, is amended by amending section 3 to read as follows:
"SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on
July 1, 2009[; provided that on June 30, 2015, this Act shall be repealed
and section 46-15.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, shall be reenacted in the form in
which it read on the day before the approval of the Act]."
SECTION 3. Act 98, Session Laws of Hawaii 2012, is amended by amending section 3 to read as follows:
"SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect
upon its approval[, and shall be repealed on June 30, 2015; provided that
section 46-15.1(b), Hawaii Revised Statutes, shall be reenacted pursuant to
section 3 of Act 141, Session Laws of Hawaii 2008]."
