THE SENATE	S.B. NO.	1185
THIRTIETH LEGISLATURE, 2019
STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO LANDS CONTROLLED BY THE STATE.

 

 

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

 

     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that in the 1970s and 1980s, predecessor agencies to the Hawaii housing finance and development corporation developed several leasehold subdivisions and acquired leasehold condominiums as part of their mission to provide affordable home ownership opportunities to Hawaii residents.  Over the years, homeowners were given the opportunity to purchase the leased fee interest in several of these developments.

     The legislature further finds that although the process of obtaining legislative approval of the sale of the fee interest in land is an important check and balance to the alienation of large tracts of state lands, it is a costly and burdensome process when applied to individual lessee-homeowners.  In order to ensure that the requirements of section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised States, are met, in the interim before a legislative session in which legislative approval is sought, Hawaii housing finance and development corporation lessees must undergo a process that takes over a full calendar year to complete before the sale can be closed, assuming that the legislature approves the proposed sale.

     The legislature further finds that the intent of Act 176, Session Laws of Hawaii 2009, was to "establish a more comprehensive process for the sale of state-owned land, and to reserve a larger role for the legislature to assure that key information about certain sales or exchanges of land is shared with the legislature."  It was not the legislature's intent to unduly burden individual homeowners in subdivisions and condominiums in which the majority of their neighbors had already acquired fee simple interest in their homes.

     The legislature also finds that, because it does not serve the legislative intent of Act 176, Session Laws of Hawaii 2009, individual sales of the leased fee interest in a leasehold condominium unit or single family house lot to its lessee by the Hawaii housing finance and development corporation should be exempt from the legislative approval process if the following conditions exist:

     (1)  One of the corporation's predecessor agencies approved the sale of the leased fee interest to lessees of the condominium or development in which the unit or house lot is located no later than November 4, 1994;

     (2)  The leased fee interest in more than fifty per cent of all units in the condominium or development in which the unit or house lot is located was sold or otherwise transferred prior to July 13, 2009; and

     (3)  The sale is to the lessee of record of the unit or house lot.

     The purpose of this Act is to exempt certain specific homes and condominium units in affordable developments that fit the above-mentioned conditions from the legislative approval requirements of section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

     SECTION 2.  The following house lots, which are not located on lands that were government or crown lands previous to

August 15, 1895, or acquired by the State in exchange for such lands, shall be exempt from the requirements of section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes:
