There will be no change for current STVR and NUC holders except that they will be required to renew their registration annually and comply with the new standards of operation and penalty structure.

Both the Windward and Leeward planning commissions will hold public hearings on the bill. They will then send the bill back to the Council Policy Committee with their recommendations. This committee will hold another public hearing and may hold the bill over for additional hearings and for amendments. If the bill advances to Council, it will get a minimum of two more public hearings. If I have a Bed and Breakfast permit,will it go away if 122 passed?
