Requesting a performance audit of the Hawaii State Building Code Council to evaluate its efficiency and impact on housing development.

The bill requests the State Auditor to conduct a performance audit of the Hawaii State Building Code Council, focusing on its statutory purpose, duties, and authorities. The audit will examine the efficiency of the three-year code adoption cycle, assess whether counties should primarily fund the Council, and evaluate the Council's historical performance and impact on construction costs and housing production. The audit will also consider alternative governance structures for building code adoption in Hawaii and whether the Council's functions are necessary or duplicative.
