Hawaii HB526 mandates county permitting agencies to create positions for processing state project permit applications and allows third-party services.
Hawaii HB526 amends Chapter 46 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to require county permitting agencies to establish and fill positions dedicated to processing permit applications for state projects. These agencies may use third-party services until the positions are filled. The bill appropriates funds for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to support this effort. A "county permitting agency" is defined as the planning department of certain counties or any other designated county agency.
