Housing finance and policy legislative jurisdiction required for bills increasing specified costs.

HF 2492 requires that any bill increasing residential construction or remodeling costs by $3,000 or more per unit must be referred to Minnesota's House and Senate committees with jurisdiction over housing finance and policy. This procedural rule applies directly to legislators drafting housing-related bills and ensures such cost-increasing proposals receive specialized committee review. The bill does not change housing policy itself but establishes a referral requirement for specific legislation affecting housing affordability. It is a procedural measure targeting the legislative process, not a substantive policy change.
