This space was created by Ashely Kierkiewicz <br /> and Heather Kimball to get the community to weigh in on various aspects of the proposed updates to the TAR <br /> code. It states that, "public feedback is actively being considered and being used to refine bill language." As of <br /> February 9th, 2024 this is where the opinions stand: All of these options are now"Closed to new contributions" <br /> and"The forum host has frozen this forum so no changes can be made." It seems as though they are not using <br /> any of this feedback,that they asked for,to write and revise Bill 121. <br /> SUPPORT FOR TARS SECTION: <br /> What is your opinion of Transient Accommodation Rentals?(Overwhelming Support) <br /> Do TARs take away from housing opportunities?(Overwhelming Opposition) <br /> Do TARs add to the local economy?(Overwhelming Support) <br /> Pathway and time for unpermitted structures operating as TARs to get necessary approvals(Overwhelming <br /> Support) <br /> REGISTRATION OF TARS SECTION: <br /> Owners of existing hosted TARs may continue operations while registration application is being reviewed <br /> (Overwhelming Support) <br /> Identifying TARS as unpermitted in all ads and rental contracts(More opposition than support <br /> TAR registration can be transferred to new owner if Change of Ownership for is submitted and notification letters <br /> sent(Overwhelming Support) <br /> Owner of primary residence should be allowed to register to be a hosted TAR at any time-this includes portion of <br /> main home, `ohana unit, guesthouse, detached bedroom <br /> (Overwhelming Support) <br /> Hosting platforms should have some responsibility for ensuring that TARs listed on their sites are operation legally <br /> (Overwhelming Support) <br /> TAR FEED&FINES SECTION: <br /> Initial Registration Fees(Overwhelming Opposition) <br /> Annual Renewal Fees(Overwhelming Opposition) <br />
