Here are the critical points regarding current developments in Maui’s property regulations (The Minatoya List Repeal proposed by Mayor Bissen):

1. Mayor's Proposed Bill: The Planning Department still needs to send the Mayor's proposed bill to the County Council. They have up to 120 days to transmit it, which provides time for any changes or additional context.

2. Economic Impact Study: The County Council requested an economic impact study proposal in September. They have not yet selected a vendor, but once completed, the study will inform the Council’s discussions. This study will be crucial for anticipating economic implications.

3. Upcoming County Council Sessions: After the economic study is completed, the County Council will hold three sessions to review, debate, and gather testimony on the bill. Adjustments can be made during these sessions, and we expect the final vote in the third session, likely early in the new year.

4. County Council Elections: The entire County Council is up for election on November 5. The outcome of this election could influence the trajectory of the proposed bill, so staying updated on candidate positions may provide valuable insight.

5. Housing and Land Use Committee Bill 105: This bill is worth monitoring. The County Council awaits responses from various departments, and the new Council will address these in a few weeks.
