Hawaii real gross domestic product

Tax incentives for new construction and housing rehabilitation concern the construction and investment components of economic activity. Certification is separate from realized construction or measured GDP growth. Beginning January 1, 2027, counties cannot exercise HHFDC’s new county-assistance exemption authority under section 201H-36(a)(6); the prior county-project exemption language is removed. Other stated county housing powers remain, including conditional construction and mortgage assistance. This subsection still does not empower a county to cause the State to issue general-obligation bonds for its project. HHFDC may approve and certify eligible projects under a county assistance program where at least 50% of available units serve households at or below 100% of HUD median family income. Unless HHFDC exempts a project, regulatory agreements require at least five years for moderate rehabilitation, ten years for substantial rehabilitation, and thirty years from the certificate of occupancy for new construction; new county-assisted construction instead has a fifteen-year minimum from that certificate. These conditions are not a universal entitlement to exemption. HHFDC must amend its administrative rules under chapter 91 to conform to the law. Signing does not establish that the rules, applications or certifications have been completed. Approval was July 8, 2026; sections 2 and 3 begin January 1, 2027. The act preserves its amendments through specified intervening statutory restorations, then repeals the act on July 1, 2031 and restores sections 46-15.1 and 201H-36 to their pre-act form. The separately stated June 30, 2030 certification window for the section 104-2(i)(2) project pathway is not extended to 2031 by this approval. For the separate section 104-2(i)(2) pathway, Act 215 removes the restriction that allowable general-excise and use-tax costs apply only to contracting. It retains a $30 million annual aggregate limit for that pathway’s certified projects, a July 1, 2018–June 30, 2030 approval/certification window, all units at or below 140% of HUD median family income with at least 20% at or below 80%, and protection against refusal solely because an applicant holds a Section 8 voucher. The separate ordinary rental pathway retains at least 50% of units at or below 80%, of which at least 20% of available units are at or below 60%. These are distinct pathways, not the income conditions or a newly imposed cap for every county-assisted project. Later amendments, the referenced restoration statutes, HHFDC rules, actual certifications and fiscal or housing outcomes remain separate review tasks. This approval authorizes conditional exemptions; it does not allocate $30 million in new spending, create a statewide rent cap or prove additional homes.
