MODERATE

This bill transfers oversight of Hawaii's school impact fee program from the Board of Education to the School Facilities Authority Board and allows the new board to dissolve school impact districts without holding a public hearing. The changes aim to align governance with the entity that actually administers the program and streamline the process for ending school impact districts.

Scope change

The bill's scope now applies to the School Facilities Authority Board instead of the Board of Education for overseeing the school impact fee program and dissolving school impact districts.

GOVERNANCE

Transfers oversight authority of the school impact fee program from the Board of Education to the School Facilities Authority Board to better align governance with program administration.

REQUIREMENT

Allows the School Facilities Authority Board to dissolve school impact districts without requiring a public hearing, simplifying the dissolution process.

Removed the requirement for a public hearing before designating a school impact district, though Section 3 of the original bill still required hearings for designation.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date of the Act from 'upon approval' to July 1, 3000, which appears to be a placeholder or error in the revised version.
