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

The Hawaii State Building Code Council was established to maintain a statewide building code for public safety and uniform construction standards. However, it has faced issues with inconsistency and inefficiency, particularly with its three-year code adoption cycle. The council's functions and operations are now under scrutiny, especially after being suspended by the Governor in 2023 due to its impact on housing production.
