Hawaii HB419 amends housing project development regulations to exempt certain projects from local zoning and building codes.

Hawaii HB419 modifies the Hawaii Revised Statutes to allow the development of housing projects exempt from local planning, zoning, and construction standards. The bill specifies that these projects must meet health and safety requirements, not contravene utility standards, and be approved by the county legislative body and land use commission. The final plans and specifications for these projects will serve as the zoning, building, and construction standards. The bill also repeals certain statutory material and takes effect upon approval.
