What this bill would do

This bill directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development to publish guidelines and best practices for State and local zoning frameworks. It requires the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research to create these guidelines within three years of the Act's enactment. During the first two years, the Assistant Secretary must publish draft guidelines for public comment and establish a diverse task force for consultation. The guidelines will cover various topics such as reducing parking minimums, allowing duplexes and triplexes, and encouraging affordable housing. Additionally, the bill abolishes the Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse and authorizes appropriations of $3,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030.
