HB1405

Streamlines permit application process for low-impact projects in Hawaii.

This bill aims to streamline the permit application process for low-impact projects in Hawaii by establishing specific deadlines and resources. It requires the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to create a single digital portal for uploading applications and tracking status. The bill also mandates a facilitated application process, allowing applicants to request expedited review for projects requiring multiple state permits. The department must monitor permits for inefficiencies and implement streamlining measures.
