Hawaii SB2329 sets a time limit on the validity of certain environmental determinations, requiring a new review if the limit expires.

Hawaii SB2329 amends Chapter 343 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to establish a time limit on the validity of findings of no significant impact from final environmental assessments or acceptances of final environmental impact statements. These determinations are valid until the later of a specified number of years after the finding or acceptance, or the expiration of any judicial proceedings related to the finding. If the validity period expires, an agency or applicant must initiate a new environmental review process to determine if the proposed action can proceed.
