Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 103 authorizes the Legislative Council of Idaho to form a committee tasked with studying state and local land use regulations and their impact on housing supply. The resolution highlights the challenges posed by Idaho's growing population, which has led to increased demand for housing and rising costs. It emphasizes the importance of reviewing current land use regulations to identify opportunities for balancing oversight with the need for cost-effective housing development. The committee will evaluate city comprehensive plans, zoning codes, and regulatory processes to find ways to reduce building costs and waiting times while maintaining local control.

The committee will consist of three members from the House of Representatives and three from the Senate, with a mix of majority and minority party members. Additionally, nonlegislative members will be appointed from various relevant organizations and agencies to provide input and expertise. The committee is expected to promote transparency and collaboration among stakeholders, ultimately guiding policymakers and community leaders in developing effective strategies to improve housing affordability. The findings and recommendations from the committee will be reported to the Second Regular Session of the Sixty-eighth Idaho Legislature.
