Hawaii Senator Stanley Change Introduced Bill, Requiring Counties to Allow ADUs on all Urban Residential Zoned Lots

Idea Category: Housing

Hawaii: Senator Stanley Chang introduced Senate Bill 3202, which requires Hawaii’s four counties to adopt or amend ordinances by Dec. 31, 2026, to allow for at least two accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, on all urban residential-zoned lots.  The law addresses the state’s lack of affordable housing for working-class families.

A report by the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization published last week found that 56% of households in the state were “rent-burdened,” or spent more than 30% of their income on rent, last year. More than a quarter of households have spent more than half their income on rent.
