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 recognize
housing units developed by the department of Hawaiian home lands and issue
affordable housing credits to 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.] in accordance
with applicable county ordinances, resolutions, rules, or memoranda of
agreement. The credits shall be transferable and each housing unit
shall be [issued on a one-unit for one-unit basis.] eligible for
additional credits as provided by county ordinances, resolutions, rules, or
memoranda of agreement. Credits shall be issued for each single-family

In accordance with adopted county ordinances, resolutions, rules, or

obligations imposed by the county on [market priced] 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

rule, ordinance, or particular zoning conditions of a project.
