Hawaii HB1742 aims to facilitate the construction and placement of self-contained relocatable housing units.

Hawaii HB1742 addresses the state's housing shortage by authorizing the construction and placement of self-contained relocatable housing units. These units, which can operate independently of permanent utilities, must comply with either federal or county building codes. The bill mandates that each county issue a ministerial zoning permit for these units, which must be approved within thirty days if the application is complete. Counties can adopt ordinances on sanitation, access, spacing, and safety, but cannot require additional inspections beyond those authorized by the bill.
