The bill proposes the elimination of the Legislative Commission on Housing Affordability by repealing Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 3.8845. This repeal removes the entire framework for the commission, which included provisions for its membership, meeting schedules, terms, and duties. The commission was responsible for defining housing affordability, studying related issues, and providing legislative recommendations to improve access to homeownership and address barriers faced by first-time and economically disadvantaged buyers and renters.

With the repeal, all functions and responsibilities previously held by the commission will cease, effectively dissolving the body that was tasked with addressing housing affordability in Minnesota. The bill signifies a shift in the state's approach to housing issues, as it removes a dedicated legislative entity focused on this critical area.
