Bill > SB225

This bill requires the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction (DHBC) to conduct specific analyses before adopting new or amended regulations that affect residential construction. These analyses include a cost-benefit analysis, which estimates compliance costs for builders and benefits to the public like improved safety, and an analysis estimating the impact on the overall amount of residential construction. These findings must be submitted to the Housing, Buildings and Construction Advisory Committee and the Legislative Research Commission. Furthermore, the bill establishes a moratorium, preventing the DHBC from altering or amending any state code in a way that would increase residential construction costs until January 1, 2029.
