SB 1412 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO THE HAWAII PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY.

SB 1412 clarifies the Hawaii Public Housing Authority's existing powers regarding housing projects. It directly affects the Authority itself and the residents living in public housing developments it manages. The bill defines the Authority's specific responsibilities and decision-making scope for housing projects without creating new programs or funding. This clarification aims to reduce ambiguity in how the Authority operates its housing portfolio. The measure was recently recommended for passage by the Housing Committee with amendments.
