The committee deferred HP 1294 HD2 SD1 (agricultural workforce housing) because the measure had not yet been released for further consideration. After the initial deferment, members listed a series of bills that they said had either reached agreement on language or required minor revisions but still needed FIN or WAM release before final action. The conferees agreed to reconvene at 3:30 p.m. in Room 016 to address those outstanding fiscal releases and any final changes.

Bills the committee scheduled to reconvene include HB 286 HD2 SD1 (individual housing account program); HP 1298 HD3 SD1 (housing); HB 1409 HD1 SD1 (transit-oriented development); Senate Bill 662 (transportation, CD1 agreement reached but awaiting WAM); Senate Bill 26 (affordable housing); HB 740 HD2 SD2 (housing); HB 432 HD1 SD2 (rental housing revolving fund); SB 1229 (dwelling unit revolving fund); and SB 944 (low-income housing tax credit). For many of those measures the committee reported \"agreement on a CD1\" or similar language but repeatedly noted they were awaiting WAM release or that the bill was undergoing revisions.

On one early agenda item — HP 1294 HD2 SD1 relating to agricultural workforce housing — committee members stated the bill was \"deferred\" and adjourned that item without a final vote. For other items, members explicitly set reconvene times rather than voting: the committee repeatedly moved a set of housing and related measures to the 3:30 p.m. reconvening slot in Room 016.

The hearing concluded after the committee scheduled those follow-up sessions. Committee members stressed that the reconvening was intended to allow time for necessary fiscal sign-offs and for final technical edits before any votes.

The committee did not record additional public testimony or detailed debate on these items in the hearing transcript; most of the entries were scheduling and status confirmations.

The committee’s next step is to reconvene at the stated time to consider those bills once FIN and WAM releases are available or revisions are completed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Room 224 Conference AM - 04-25-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The joint House–Senate conference committee deferred one bill and scheduled multiple housing and related bills to reconvene at 3:30 p.m. in Room 016 for further action; several measures had agreement subject to fiscal (FIN/WAM) releases.","taxTitle","Joint House and Senate Conference, Joint, Legislative , Hawaii","taxId",76381,"location","Hawaii","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6259290,"Conference committee approves CD1 changing school impact fees, exempts certain affordable housing",114,233000,347000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3142202-898faf204b834e877348cf2daa4ef2dd&start=233&end=347","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3142202-898faf204b834e877348cf2daa4ef2dd/thumbnail_233000.jpg","/articles/6259290/Hawaii/Conference-committee-approves-CD1-changing-school-impact-fees-exempts-certain-affordable-housing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6259290-e6ecb7629a1591c52d94cb90921f4b36/orig.mp4?Expires=1770872005&Signature=VEtwvR-4MsnsKHj351J3XnpPDLAJel8Vqqtib7fr791ThpfwOWgnfHRFleusWZjuj1xfjR2NUgYo8zN2rN06OXofcVoQGtNrRFUbyTHw3FcZom5Nn--BKsKs-exsa3mi093oBVEDfOsGl-I4B3Jms39sdSddk9cQJ~A3MgJ4TJpz5qCeYvgZBnchxrt9XPIoPflWoVziU~0slWTdPnc3C~nQxQ8-VumfGd~dapF0hUomOYI72UBN9PVzunm0m-kZ8X96Qss0BC7I8yrBYyoBp0liuiFRr83YmwAmdAf5DqPpPdf-n7OLMbTPXzVxpqJz97jwj2vlQhz1fNuoAIjbtg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A joint House and Senate conference committee on April 25 voted to pass a CD1 amending HP 422 HD1 SD2, a bill that changes how school impact fees are calculated and collected.

The CD1 would repeal the construction-cost component of school impact fees and exempt government housing developments, affordable housing units and projects, and Hawaiian homeland housing from the fee. The measure also directs the School Facilities Authority to adopt rules governing fee collection and requires the authority to report to the Legislature on the program’s efficacy before the bill’s sunset date. The proposed CD1 footer distributed to members was labeled 2025-3280 proposed-3; the CD1 would be effective upon approval and would sunset after five years.

Committee members said they had reached agreement on the bill’s language and moved to pass the CD1 with amendments. The chair called the recommendation and cast an affirmative vote. Representatives Miyake, Peruso and Moraoka recorded affirmative votes; on behalf of the Senate, co-chairs Chang, Kim and Kidani recorded affirmative votes. Senators Hashimoto and Shimano were recorded as excused. The measure passed and the committee announced “we have a bill.”

Committee members noted the CD1 is mostly technical and clarifies several points, including that a land-in-lieu component is not charged for projects under 100 units, that the School Facilities Authority may develop rules governing fee collection, and that the authority must report to the Legislature prior to the sunset date. The CD1’s five-year sunset and effective-upon-approval language were emphasized during the conference discussion.

The committee did not record further amendments on the floor during the hearing. The bill’s fiscal release (FIN) and whether the Department of Budget chair (WAM) had signed off were discussed earlier during other items on the agenda; for this bill the committee indicated relevant fiscal clearances were in place. Next steps are formal transmittal of the conference committee report and any administrative steps required to publish the CD1 and notify legislative clerks of the committee’s action.

The action affects municipalities and housing developers that currently pay school impact fees under the construction-cost component; the School Facilities Authority will have rulemaking responsibility if the bill becomes law. The committee did not provide an implementation timeline beyond the CD1’s effective language and sunset provision.","A joint House–Senate conference committee voted to approve a CD1 that repeals the construction-cost component of school impact fees and exempts government housing, affordable units and Hawaiian homelands from the fee; the measure requires rules and a legislative report and sunsets in five years.","actionData","errors"]
