Maui County is wrestling with legislation that could reshape the island's economy and housing landscape. Bill 9, introduced 18 months ago to convert short-term vacation rentals (STRs) into long-term housing, has evolved dramatically from the mayor's initial claim that "most, if not all" affected properties were meant for workforce housing. A Temporary Investigative Group (TIG) found that 63% of these condos are actually unsuitable for long-term residential use.

The numbers are staggering: converting these properties could slash county property tax revenue by up to 85%. The TIG recommends creating new hotel zones and rezoning appropriate properties, but there's a critical timing problem: Bill 9's first reading is scheduled for November 12, while the new zoning categories could take four to six months or longer to establish.

Join Lahaina Lee as he breaks down what's at stake, why the sequencing matters, and what happens next in this critical decision for Maui's future. Can the County find a path that balances housing needs with property rights and economic sustainability?

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.
