AI Summary

This bill authorizes and directs the Joint Committee on Housing to investigate and study certain current Senate documents related to the state's comprehensive permit law, known as "40B."

The bill does not propose any changes to the existing law, but rather calls for a review of the use and effectiveness of the 40B program.
