Streamlines the process for adopting Hawaii's state building codes to address housing costs and safety.
The bill aims to address Hawaii's housing crisis by streamlining the process for adopting state building codes. It establishes the Hawaii state building codes, requiring the council to consult with contractors, trade associations, and developers. The council must adopt, amend, or update codes and standards within two years of publication. If the council fails to act, the county governing body may adopt the code or standard. The council also conducts financial analysis and reports annually to the governor.
