BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 46-15.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) Each county shall issue affordable

(1) The department of Hawaiian home
lands with respect to existing and future Hawaiian home lands projects upon a
request for such credits by the department of Hawaiian home lands. The credits

shall be issued for each single-family residence, multi-family unit, other
residential unit, or if allowed under the county's affordable housing programs,
vacant lot, developed by the department of Hawaiian home lands. The credits
may be applied county-wide within the same county in which the credits were
earned to satisfy affordable housing obligations imposed by the county on
market priced residential and non-residential developments. County-wide or
project-specific requirements for the location of affordable housing units;
housing class, use, or type; construction time; or other county requirements
for affordable housing units shall not impair, restrict, or condition the
county's obligation to apply the credits in full satisfaction of all county
requirements whether by rule, ordinance, or particular zoning conditions of a
project[.]; and
(2) The Hawaii public housing authority with respect to existing and future Hawaii public housing authority projects upon a request for such credits by the Hawaii public housing authority. The credits shall be transferable and shall be issued on a one-unit for one-unit basis. Credits shall be issued for each single-family residence, multi-family unit, other residential unit, or if allowed under the county's affordable housing programs, vacant lot, developed by the Hawaii public housing authority. The credits may be applied county-wide within the same county in which the credits were earned to satisfy affordable housing obligations imposed by the county on market priced residential and non-residential developments. County-wide or project-specific requirements for the location of affordable housing units; housing class, use, or type; construction time; or other county requirements for affordable housing units shall not impair, restrict, or condition the county's obligation to apply the credits in full satisfaction of all county requirements whether by rule, ordinance, or particular zoning conditions of a project.
For purposes of this section, "affordable housing obligation" means the requirement imposed by a county to develop vacant lots, single-family residences, multi-family residences, or any other type of residence for sale or rent to individuals within a specified income range."
