Bill > HR6772

This bill, titled the "Affordable Housing Through Common-Sense Standards Act," requires the Comptroller General of the United States, who is the head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), to conduct a study and submit a report to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment. The study will examine the potential costs and benefits of creating a single, nationwide set of rules for residential building, known as a Federal uniform residential building code. Specifically, the report will investigate whether such a code could speed up the approval process for new housing construction by local governments, lower the overall cost of building homes, and improve the quality of housing that is both available and affordable for Americans.
