Hawaii HB1845 changes the voting requirement for boundary amendments by the Land Use Commission to a simple majority.

Hawaii HB1845 modifies the voting requirement for boundary amendments by the Land Use Commission. Currently, six out of nine members must vote affirmatively, but this bill changes it to a simple majority of those present and qualified to vote. This adjustment aims to expedite the approval process, potentially accelerating housing development and addressing the state's excessive permit and approval times. The bill does not affect rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that began before its effective date.
