SB 1407 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO SCHOOL IMPACT FEES.

SB 1407 exempts housing developed by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) from school impact fees. This directly affects DHHL, which builds housing for Native Hawaiian beneficiaries, and removes a fee requirement for its new housing projects. The bill changes the existing rule that typically requires developers to pay these fees to fund school infrastructure, specifically applying the exemption to DHHL-developed properties. It does not alter fees for other developers or impact school funding mechanisms.
