HI HB1001

Exempts housing units reserved for persons or families with incomes up to 120% of area median income in counties with populations over 700,000 from school impact fee requirements.

Exempts all government housing projects and projects processed pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes sections 46-51.1 and 201H-38 from school impact fees.

Amends Hawaii Revised Statutes section 302A-1603 to add the new exemption categories while maintaining existing exemptions for age-restricted housing, transient accommodations, nonresidential development, and developments with education contribution agreements.

Addresses the legislature's finding that school impact fees significantly increase housing development costs and hinder affordable housing development, particularly along Honolulu's rail transit system.
