HB 1816 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO CESSPOOL CONVERSIONS.

HB 1816 increases the maximum grant amount available through the Cesspool Compliance Pilot Grant Project and appropriates funds to support this program. The bill directly affects property owners who need to convert or replace outdated cesspools to meet environmental standards. Its key mechanism is raising the financial support limit for eligible conversions, funded by the state appropriation. This change aims to make compliance more affordable for affected property owners without altering the program's eligibility rules.
