Hawaii HB541 amends urban development regulations to facilitate the construction of accessory dwelling units and the imposition of impact fees. Counties with populations under 500,000 must adopt ordinances allowing at least two accessory dwelling units per residential lot.

Counties must also adopt ordinances defining reasonable impact fees for public facility capital improvements, considering factors like development needs and existing deficiencies.
