SB2185 amends Hawaii land use regulations to expedite affordable housing development by allowing county-requested reclassification of certain lands.

SB2185 amends Chapter 205 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to allow the Land Use Commission to reclassify lands designated for urban growth under a county general or development plan into the urban state land use district. This change aims to expedite affordable housing development by reducing delays and costs associated with separate state and county land use regulations. Upon a county's request, the commission must update the boundary lines on United States Geological Survey quadrangle maps and notify the county of the update.
