BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  Section 356D-11, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended as follows:

     1.  By amending subsection (a) to read:

     "(a)  The authority, in its own behalf or on behalf of any government, may:

     (1)  Clear, improve, and rehabilitate property; and

     (2)  Plan, develop, construct, and finance [public] housing projects."

     2.  By amending subsection (e) to read:

     "(e)  The authority may contract or sponsor with any county, housing authority, or person, subject to the availability of funds, [an experimental or demonstration] a housing project designed to meet the needs of elders, disabled, displaced or homeless persons, low- and moderate-income persons, government employees, teachers, or university and college students and faculty."

     3.  By amending subsection (f) to read:

     "(f)  The authority may enter into contracts with eligible developers to develop [public] housing projects in exchange for mixed use development rights.  Eligibility of a developer for an exchange pursuant to this subsection shall be determined pursuant to rules adopted by the authority in accordance with chapter 91.

     As used in this subsection, "mixed use development rights" means the right to develop a portion of a public housing project for commercial use."

     4.  By amending subsection (h) to read:

     "(h)  In connection with the development of any public housing dwelling units under this chapter, the authority may also develop non-subsidized housing, commercial properties, and industrial properties and sell or lease other properties if it determines that the uses will be an integral part of the public housing development or a benefit to the community in which the properties are situated.  The authority may designate any portions of the public housing development for non-subsidized housing, commercial, industrial, or other use and shall have all the powers granted under this chapter with respect thereto.  The authority may use any funding authorized under this chapter to implement this subsection.

     The net proceeds of all sales or leases, less costs to the authority, shall be deposited in the public housing revolving fund established by section 356D-28."

     SECTION 2.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.  New statutory material is underscored.
