Hawaii HB1543 sets a time limit on the validity of environmental assessments and impact statements.

Hawaii HB1543 amends Chapter 343 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes by adding a new section that establishes a time limit on the validity of certain environmental determinations.

This period is the later of either a set number of years after the finding or acceptance, or a set number of years after any court order finding no significant impact.
