What It Aims to Change

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget levels and allocations for future legislation.

  • It focuses on legislation that encourages local governments to change restrictive zoning practices which limit housing development, reduce the housing supply, and drive up housing costs.

  • It allows for investments through grants to communities, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2034.
