REQUESTING THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OF EACH COUNTY TO ESTABLISH KUPUNA-FRIENDLY BUILDING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING ACCESSIBILITY AND PRIVATE BUSINESSES OPERATING HOURS.

Summary

The Hawaii Senate adopted a resolution urging each county’s planning department to create building‑permit requirements that improve parking for older adults and allow private businesses to set special hours for kupuna. It targets private retailers, malls, and parking facilities to make community spaces safer and more accessible for seniors. The move follows concerns about insufficient accessible parking and successful pandemic‑era hour adjustments for vulnerable residents.
