House Committee on Housing defers SCR 48 SD1 on updated building codes
Summary
The committee deferred SCR 48 SD1, which requested a multi-agency strategy for adopting updated building codes; several listed testifiers were not present.
The House Committee on Housing deferred consideration of SCR 48 SD1, a resolution requesting that the governor's office, the State Building Code Council, county building departments, mayors and legislative housing committee chairs develop a comprehensive strategy for adopting updated building codes.
The chair introduced SCR 48 SD1 at the start of the session and noted two listed testifiers were not present. The Grassroots Institute of Hawaii (representative Ted Kefalas) and the American Institute of Architects were noted as listed but not present; Gina Thielen was listed as supporting via Zoom but was not present when called. The committee recorded no substantive testimony on the measure and deferred it, noting the item was similar to House Concurrent Resolution 67, house draft 1.
No vote on substantive amendments occurred; the item was deferred for future consideration. The committee recessed briefly during the meeting to allow remote testifiers to rejoin.
