While many headlines claim the bill has passed, it has not yet become law.

Maui is at a crossroads. In this urgent update, Lahaina Lee breaks down the real story behind Bill 9—the controversial legislation that could phase out over 7,000 legal short-term rentals across West and South Maui.

In this clear-eyed report, you'll learn:

• What Bill 9 really proposes
• Why the legal status of these rentals matters
• How the bill could impact Maui’s economy, tax revenue, and local jobs
• What council members are saying—and where they’re divided
• Why critics say this bill won’t actually solve Maui’s housing crisis

Get the facts, not the spin—plus a passionate call for real solutions to Maui’s housing shortage. Whether you’re a local resident, STR owner, or someone who cares about the future of the island, this is one report you don’t want to miss.
