Hawaii SB511 amends housing development laws to exempt certain projects from zoning and planning regulations.

These projects must meet health and safety standards and not impose stricter income requirements than those set by the state.

The land use commission's approval is required within 45 days, after which the petition is deemed approved if not disapproved.
