Streamlines the adoption of state building codes in Hawaii to address housing affordability and emergency preparedness.
The bill aims to address Hawaii's housing affordability crisis by amending the process for adopting state building codes. It establishes the Hawaii State Building Codes, streamlines the duties of the State Building Code Council, and mandates a financial analysis of proposed codes and standards. The council must consult with various stakeholders and may hire experts to assist in its duties. The bill also allows for the automatic adoption of codes and standards if the council fails to act within two years, and requires the council to submit annual reports to the governor.
