HI HR121

Urges the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development to develop a scope of work or requests for proposals for analyzing whether new developments contribute to long-term fiscal sustainability of Hawaii and respective counties.

Directs bidders to develop visual mapping analysis of current development patterns showing estimated value per acre to compare fiscal productivity of various development types throughout Hawaii.

Requires bidders to create methodology estimating ongoing maintenance costs, future infrastructure replacement costs, and annual service costs (public safety and administrative) for proposed developments.

Requests the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development submit a report to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the 2025 Regular Session with findings, recommendations, and any proposed legislation.

Addresses Hawaii's fiscal pressures from aging population, shrinking workforce, rising sea levels (projected 3.2 feet of rise causing $19 billion in land and structure losses), and state cost increases of 41 percent between 2012-2018.
