Streamlines the process for adopting Hawaii state building codes to address housing affordability.
The bill aims to streamline the process for adopting Hawaii state building codes to address the state's housing affordability crisis. It establishes the Hawaii state building codes, mandates financial analysis for proposed codes, and requires the state building code council to consult with various stakeholders. If the council does not recommend a code within two years, the county governing body may adopt it. The council must submit annual reports to the governor detailing its activities. The bill also ensures that invalid provisions do not affect other parts of the Act.
