BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

The purpose of this Act is to exempt any housing development for the department of Hawaiian home lands from school impact fee requirements.
Section 2. Section 302A-1603, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) The following shall be exempt from this section:
(1) Any form of housing permanently excluding school-aged children, with the necessary covenants or declarations of restrictions recorded on the property;
(2) Any form of housing that is or will be paying the transient accommodations tax under chapter 237D;
(3) All nonresidential
development; [and]
(4) Any development with
an executed education contribution agreement or other like document with the department
for the contribution of school sites or payment of fees for school land or school
construction[.]; and
(5) Any housing development
for the department of Hawaiian home lands."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
