Key Points

Congress would order the government’s watchdog office to study a nationwide set of building rules for homes.
The study would look at whether one federal code could speed up local approval for new housing construction.
It would also examine whether a single code could lower homebuilding costs and make housing more affordable.
The report would consider whether uniform rules could improve the quality of homes, not just the price.
If the bill became law, the report would be due to Congress within 1 year.
