Mdd7000,
No, thank god, it doesn't state that.
It states that they want to change the time you are allowed to sell the house after it has been issued a final/occupancy permit from 1 year to 2 years. This means you finish your house and will not be allowed to sell it for 2 years or you will be in violation of the owner builder guidelines and can be fined for selling it too soon.
It also changes the number of owner builder permits you can receive/apply for. Instead of one every 2 years, it would be changed to one every three years. This means you could build no more than one owner built houses once every 3 years. Although, unless there is another portion, it also tends to make one think you would have to wait 3 years to apply for a permit to build a storage shed on the same site which would be wrongly applied IMO.
The time in which you have to build is still indefinite as far as I know as long as you do not abandon the work for more than one year or more.
E ho'a'o no i pau kuhihewa.
