Senate committee adopts A‑17 changes, advances omnibus housing bill to floor

The committee adopted the A‑17 amendment to House Bill 40 37 A—an omnibus housing bill with technical fixes to a moderate-income revolving loan fund, expanded self-certification for building plans, and streamlined reviews for projects meeting clear-and-objective standards—and forwarded the bill to the floor with a do-pass recommendation after public testimony both supporting and opposing aspects of section 17.
