Hawaii HB352 establishes streamlined permitting for solar energy systems in flood zones.

Hawaii HB352 aims to expedite the deployment of solar energy systems in federally designated flood zones by requiring government entities to implement self-certification processes. This Act mandates that government entities establish a self-certification process for behind-the-meter, customer-sited solar distributed energy resource systems. The process allows relevant professionals to conduct permit reviews and inspections using commercially available software, provided the submitted documentation demonstrates compliance with all applicable codes and laws.
