This action includes provisions to:
- Enhance housing opportunities for displaced Maui residents by allowing condominium owners and associations to house displaced residents in excess of time limits in governing documents.
- Encourage hotels, motels, and condominiums to make units available for the housing of those displaced by the wildfires by exempting such housing agreements from landlord-tenant statutes unless specified in a tenancy agreement.
- Ease the burden of wildfire survivors who need to obtain records and evidence of identity, property, and individual rights from the State Archives Division by waiving fees for copying, certifying, and other services.
The renewed Emergency Proclamation will be in effect through March 5, 2024, unless terminated or superseded by a separate proclamation.
I remain committed to doing everything possible to support and assist the people of Maui as they recover from last year’s devastating fires.
I will continue to keep you informed as we take further action to make a difference in the lives of the people who have lost so much.
Thank you for your concern and support for those affected on Maui.
Mahalo,
Josh
