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

The bill requests the State Auditor to conduct a performance audit of the Hawaii State Building Code Council. The audit will focus on the Council's statutory purpose, duties, and authorities, the efficiency of its three-year code adoption cycle, and its impact on construction costs and housing production. It will also assess whether counties should primarily drive and fund the Council, explore alternative governance structures, and evaluate the viability of a county-managed code adoption process.
