Bill > SF2829

This bill establishes a new requirement that any proposed legislation which would increase the cost of residential construction or remodeling by $3,000 or more per housing unit must be referred to the legislative committees and divisions responsible for housing finance and policy. By mandating this referral process, the bill aims to ensure that proposed laws with significant potential financial impact on housing construction are carefully reviewed by committees specifically focused on housing issues. This provides an additional layer of legislative oversight and allows specialized committees to examine and potentially modify proposals that could substantially increase housing development and renovation costs. The bill would add this requirement as a new statute (section 3.193) in the Minnesota legislative code, creating a formal mechanism for routing bills with notable housing cost implications to the appropriate legislative review bodies.
