Hawaii HB526 establishes positions for county permitting agencies to process state project permit applications.
Hawaii HB526 amends Chapter 46 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to require each county permitting agency to establish and fill positions dedicated to processing permit applications for state projects. The bill allows counties to contract third-party services until these positions are filled. It also appropriates funds for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to support this effort. The bill defines "county permitting agency" and "state project" for clarity.
