AN ACT relating to regulation of residential construction.

Summary

The bill establishes the Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction, led by a governor‑appointed commissioner who cannot work in the building industry while in office.

Until 2029, the department may not adopt regulations that raise residential building costs unless a change is required by law.
