The bill proposes the elimination of the Legislative Commission on Housing Affordability by repealing Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 3.8845. This section previously outlined the structure, membership, duties, and operational procedures of the commission, which was responsible for studying issues related to housing affordability, including the construction and preservation of housing, market forces, and access to homeownership.
With the repeal, all provisions related to the commission, including its membership, meeting schedules, terms, and responsibilities, will be removed from state law. This change signifies a shift in the state's approach to addressing housing affordability issues, as the commission's functions and oversight will no longer be in place.
