Hawaii SB25 mandates that counties can only reduce housing units in one area if they increase units elsewhere, ensuring no net loss in residential.
Hawaii SB25 amends Chapter 46 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to introduce a new provision allowing a county to reduce the number of housing units in a specific area only if it increases the number of housing units elsewhere within the county. This ensures there is no net loss in residential capacity. The bill specifies that any reduction in housing units must be offset by an equivalent increase elsewhere, maintaining overall housing availability. This Act will take effect upon approval.
