AI Summary

This bill establishes a new requirement for legislative review of proposed bills that could significantly impact housing costs. Specifically, if a proposed bill would increase the cost of residential construction or remodeling by $3,000 or more per housing unit, it must be referred to the legislative committees and divisions responsible for housing finance and policy. This means that any proposed legislation with a potentially substantial financial impact on housing development or renovation will now undergo additional scrutiny by committees specialized in understanding housing economics and policy. The bill aims to ensure that proposed laws affecting housing are thoroughly evaluated by lawmakers with expertise in housing-related matters before they are considered for passage, potentially helping to prevent unintended consequences or overly burdensome regulations on residential construction and remodeling.
