Sponsored By: Representative Garcia, Sylvia R. [D-TX-29]

Introduced

Summary

Federal uniform residential building code is the bill's central idea. It would require the Comptroller General to produce a report to Congress within one year that compares costs and benefits of a national residential building code, including whether a single code could shorten local approval times, lower residential construction costs, or improve the quality and availability of affordable housing.
