Chair opened the first day of the committee's second session (Jan. 6) and framed the inquiry: rather than diagnosing what is wrong with housing, the committee will review legislation already passed—what has worked, what hasn't, why, and what legislative directions are appropriate. Chair invited broad testimony and regulatory reform suggestions.
