Bill > HB5057

This bill requires the director of a state construction code commission to convene a meeting within 90 days of the bill's effective date to discuss potential modifications to building codes that would allow triplexes, quadplexes, 5-plexes, or 6-plexes (residential structures with 3-6 housing units) in certain residential areas. The meeting will focus on recommending code changes that consider critical factors like water supply adequacy, professional fire department response times, and other provisions to ensure public health and safety. Following this meeting, the commission must provide its recommendations to the director within 90 days, who is then required to adopt, amend, or create new rules or codes necessary for implementation, with a deadline of January 1, 2027. The bill appears aimed at potentially increasing housing density and availability by making it easier to develop multi-unit residential structures in areas previously restricted to single-family homes.
