REQUESTING THE STATE BUILDING CODE COUNCIL TO DEVELOP AND ADOPT BASIC SHELTER STANDARDS TO ENABLE LOW-COST, RAPID-DEPLOYMENT HOUSING SOLUTIONS.
Reported from WAL (Stand. Com. Rep. No. 1861-26) as amended in HD 2, recommending adoption.
Summary
The resolution asks the State Building Code Council to develop and adopt a new “Basic Shelter” appendix that would allow temporary, low‑cost housing such as prefabricated units, Quonset huts, and kauhale. It would apply to projects built or conveyed by government agencies or nonprofit groups for emergency shelter, aiming to speed construction and cut costs. This matters because current building‑code requirements make rapid‑deployment housing difficult, leaving the state without a durable tool for disaster response.
