The Senate Commerce Committee on Tuesday voted to send House Bill 410, an act limiting local authority to adopt restrictions on the building and development of residential properties, to interim study.

Chair of the committee opened the item and moved the bill to interim study. Senator Murphy, who supported the direction, urged caution and said recent housing bills should be allowed time to take effect before additional statewide limitations are considered. After brief discussion the committee approved the interim study motion and then moved the item on consent for the record.

Committee members said the decision reflects a desire to observe the impact of bills already enacted this session before pursuing additional statewide restrictions. No formal amendments or further committee action were recorded during the session.

The interim study designation means the bill will not move directly from the committee to a floor vote; sponsors may return with revised language or additional evidence at a later date.
