AN ACT ESTABLISHING A STARTER HOMES WORKING GROUP.

SB 1308 establishes a working group to study barriers to building affordable single-family "starter homes" in the state. The group will examine state and local obstacles like zoning rules, building codes, and municipal regulations, with input from housing experts and officials. It must submit a report with findings and recommendations to the housing committee by January 1, 2026. This bill creates a study body to inform future housing policy, not an immediate law affecting residents or developers. The working group will terminate upon report submission or January 1, 2026, whichever comes later.
