Hawaii HB1713 exempts new residential developments of fewer than one hundred units from school impact fees.

Hawaii HB1713 amends the school impact fee program to exempt new residential developments of fewer than one hundred units from the fee requirements. The bill aims to encourage housing production by reducing regulatory barriers and development costs. It recognizes that smaller projects typically generate a small number of students who can be accommodated within existing school facilities or through minor adjustments. The exemption applies to developments that meet the definition of affordable housing and are reserved for households meeting the income requirements.
