Amends the definition of "development" in coastal zone management areas to clarify excluded activities.

The bill amends the definition of "development" in Hawaii's Coastal Zone Management Act to clarify that certain activities are excluded from the definition and are not subject to special management area permit requirements. These activities include construction or reconstruction of a single-family residence, repair or maintenance of roads and highways, and Hawaiian traditional and customary practices. The bill ensures that these activities can proceed without unnecessary delay while maintaining the integrity of coastal zone management.
