The proposed bill, HB2584, seeks to restrict municipalities from adopting or enforcing regulations that limit the use of building materials approved by their own building codes for single-family residential construction. Specifically, it prohibits municipalities from imposing additional requirements on prefabricated residential buildings compared to other residential structures, except as mandated by federal law. Furthermore, the bill disallows municipalities from regulating the design aesthetics of single-family homes, except in designated historical districts or areas listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In addition to these prohibitions, the bill clarifies definitions related to building materials and prefabricated residential buildings, ensuring that the new regulations do not override existing building codes, fire codes, or public health and safety standards. Overall, the bill aims to streamline building regulations and enhance the use of approved materials in residential construction while preserving certain historical designations.
