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. 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."

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shall be repealed and section 46-15.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, shall be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 this
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be repealed on June 30, 2015; provided that section 46-15.1(b), Hawaii Revised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 2009]."
