Assembly Bill 306 proposes a freeze on California's building standards for new housing until at least 2031 to address the state's growing affordability crisis. The bill aims to prevent local governments from adding additional requirements, allowing builders to focus on meeting existing stringent standards without new regulatory impacts. The legislation gained bipartisan support and passed the Assembly with unanimous votes, highlighting the urgent need for affordable housing solutions. Exceptions for emergency safety updates will remain, but overall building requirements will stay static to aid in recovery efforts post-fire disasters.
