Disclosure rules for county land bought with special funds (Bill 81)
Maui County
Summary
When the county buys land with restricted money like the open space fund and later wants to use it for something else — like affordable housing — the bill would force the county to say so up front, including how the original fund gets made whole. It comes from the West Maui Kaulu Onapili deal, where open space land was partly redirected to housing.

Impact analysis
No new cost — the $1.43 million open space reimbursement is already in the FY 2027 budget; the bill just requires disclosure going forward.
