Requesting the State Building Code Council to create basic shelter standards for low-cost, rapid-deployment housing solutions in Hawaii.

The bill urges the State Building Code Council to develop basic shelter standards that allow for low-cost, rapid-deployment housing solutions, such as single-wall conservation, plantation homes, Quonset huts, kauhale, and prefabricated accessory dwelling units (ADUs). These standards aim to address Hawaii's urgent housing shortages and high construction costs. The Council is requested to consult with various stakeholders to ensure the standards reflect Hawaii's climate, cultural context, and resilience needs.
