Summary

The bill amends the Health and Safety Code so that any building standard proposed by a state agency must include a completed estimate of compliance costs and the assumptions behind it. If the estimate is missing, the California Building Standards Commission cannot approve the standard. It also adds detailed approval criteria, special limits on residential‑unit standards through 2031, and requires green‑building provisions to be cross‑referenced in other parts of the building code.
