Informing the Legislature that on June 3, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB1263 SD2 HD3 CD1 (ACT 160).

This document is a governor's notification (GM 1260) that SB1263 (ACT 160) was signed into law on June 3, 2025. The law modifies Hawaii's historic preservation process by setting a 90-day review deadline for the Department of Land and Natural Resources (or 30 days if no historic properties are affected) on housing and development projects. It requires "complete submittal" packages including detailed site plans, surveys, and documentation for projects near historic sites. The law also creates expedited review for residential transit-oriented developments in designated zones with low risk to historic resources, aiming to balance housing development with cultural preservation. This affects developers, county agencies, and the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
