REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF PLANNING AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, IN COORDINATION WITH APPROPRIATE STATE AND COUNTY DEPARTMENTS OR AGENCIES, TO DEVELOP METHODS TO ESTIMATE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH DELAYS IN CERTAIN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

HCR 60 is a legislative request asking Hawaii's Office of Planning and Sustainable Development to develop methods for estimating costs caused by delays in public and private projects that use public funds or permits. It directs the office to coordinate with state and county agencies to identify how to track delay costs (like labor, materials, and inflation) and propose changes to permit applications or budget forms to share these estimates with decision-makers. The resolution requires the office to submit a report with findings and recommendations to the Legislature by early 2026. This is a procedural request, not a law, and does not change existing policies or directly affect specific entities.
