Hawaii SB27 amends housing project development regulations to exempt certain projects from local planning and zoning laws.

Hawaii SB27 modifies Section 201H-38 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to allow the development of housing projects exempt from local planning, zoning, and construction standards. These projects must meet specific conditions, including approval from the land use commission and the county legislative body. Additionally, the projects must comply with health and safety standards and not impose stricter income requirements than those set by the state. The bill also ensures that projects receiving state financing are exempt from county legislative approval.
