Housing Reform Across the States: Gretchen Baldau in Stateline
Housing reform can be a tricky issue for lawmakers because the topic literally hits close to home
Gretchen Baldau, ALEC Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development Task Force Senior Director, spoke with Robbie Sequeira of Stateline about the new laws passed in states regarding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
“Housing reform can be a tricky issue for lawmakers because the topic literally hits close to home,” Baldau, who is the senior director of the commerce, insurance and economic development task force for ALEC, as the think tank is known, said in a statement to Stateline.
ALEC has offered legislatures model legislation that would lower permitting and construction barriers to building ADUs, she noted, along with other model bills that would eliminate discretionary review and approvals and limit most third-party legal challenges to approved developments.
