MINOR

This bill revision extends the maximum duration for which a rental sales price must remain fixed in Hawaii's Rent-to-Own Program from a mandatory five years to a flexible period of up to ten years, as determined by the Corporation. It also updates the effective date of the amendment to reflect the new version of the bill. This change provides greater flexibility for the Corporation to tailor program terms to market conditions while maintaining the core requirement that the price be locked in for a minimum of five years.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation's Rent-to-Own Program, but the specific terms of the sales price lock-in period have been modified to allow for longer option periods.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the fixed sales price requirement from a strict five-year term to a flexible period ranging from five to ten years, determined by the Corporation.

TIMELINE

Updated the bill version identifier and associated metadata dates to reflect the second special session version (SD2).
