2026-09-10 (September 2 final revision)
GA HB 1607 reclassified; NC and MI each gain a new enacted KISS bill
Source: AEI 2026 State Housing Supply Legislation Update 9.2.2026, accepted revision (archived as v14; as of September 2, 2026). Corrects and extends the v12 accepted version.
- GA HB 1607 (Georgia First-Time Homebuyer’s Savings Account Act) reclassified from KISS to No Alignment — it is a tax-advantaged savings account, not a deregulatory reform, per its own analysis file.
- NC HB 162 added: new KISS bill, enacted (S.L. 2026-39) — prohibits local off-street parking-space minimums and oversized-space mandates.
- MI HB 5570 / HB 5571 added: new KISS bill, enacted (Public Acts 28 & 29 of 2026) — legalizes single-stair apartment buildings up to 4 stories.
- NC SB 445 summary expanded with its vested-rights (2 → 5 years), fee-transparency, and manufactured-home-definition provisions; status and projected impact (5,809 homes/year) unchanged.
- Scorecard: tracked bills 262 → 264 (316 → 319 including twins); KISS-only bills 125 → 126; no-alignment bills 74 → 75. Headline total unaffected — none of the four bills carry a quantified homes estimate.
2026-09-04 (September 2 v12 update)
Sessions closed across CA, MA and NC; headline falls to 250,704 homes/year
Source: AEI 2026 State Housing Supply Legislation Update 9.2.2026 v12 (as of September 2, 2026). Covers everything since the v6 entry below — v7, v9, v10, v11 and v12 were exported but never carried into this changelog.
Headline
- Counted supply addition 297,333 → 250,704 homes/year; the ADU-only share within it 146,482 → 141,420.
- Scorecard: 41 state legislatures / 125 bills tracked (was 38 / 115). Playbook-aligned 29 states / 63 bills (was 30 / 62). States with active, passed or enacted Playbook bills 25 → 21.
- New scorecard row: 7 states have enacted bills aligned with Playbook Options #1–3.
- Tracked bills 315 → 316 across 44 states.
Sessions adjourned — bills moved to Failed
- North Carolina (sine die 12/18, verified against the legislature’s own record): 18 entries moved Pending/Not Yet Introduced → Failed, including SB 495, SB 736, SB 499, SB 688, SB 1055 and the unintroduced Starter Home Bill and Approvals and Inspections drafts.
- Massachusetts (formal sessions ended 7/31 under Joint Rule 12A — after it a single member’s objection blocks passage, so pending bills are counted as failed): H.1482, H.1572, H4699, S.2836, S.969, S2647 → Failed.
- California: SB 908, SB 1014, SB 1116, SB 1117 and AB 956 → Passed Legislature (awaiting the governor); AB 1070, AB 1294, AB 1406, AB 2074 and SB 1216 → Failed. CA moves out of the pending group and into “awaiting the governor’s signature” (2 bills, 96,000 homes/year).
- Vermont ROOT Act → Failed.
- The document now carries a 2026 session adjournment table in its methodology notes, with verified sine die dates flagged where they differ from NCSL’s.
Bills
- Added MA Question 7 — Option #1, Pending, 1,565 homes/year. A qualified November 3, 2026 ballot initiative, tracked as production legislation rather than exploratory work; its ballot posture is carried in the entry’s prose, not as a new status term. Gained its official mass.gov petition link in v12.
- IA SF 2618 → HF 2618 (bill number corrected; KISS, Failed).
- MD HB 239 / SB 036: 5,800 → 5,400 homes/year.
- KY HB 617: share of the Playbook option 128% → 109%. ME LD 2173: 111% → 113%. VA SB 454: now stated at 35% (was blank).
- GA HB 400 bill link repointed to the current legislation document.
Text
- DE HS 1 for HB 450 summary: “impact-fee form” → “impact-fee reform”.
- GA HB 812 summary: “soil-erosion states” → “soil-erosion statutes”.
- Tracker header now reads “Updated September 2026” (was June 2026).
2026-08-23 (August 17 v6 update)
North Carolina SB 445 sized against the enacted law and promoted into the counted headline
Source: AEI 2026 State Housing Supply Legislation Update 8.17.2026 v6 · redline
NC SB 445 (Session Law 2026-59)
- Enacted 8/11/2026. Sized at 5,809 homes/year — ADU 4,298 (Option #2) + residential-in-commercial redevelopment 1,511 (Option #3). Moves from the unquantified/“Difficult to assess” group to a quantified row (alignment Moderate).
- Thresholds corrected to the enacted text (the earlier write-up used the engrossed draft): residential-in-commercial applies to cities ≥ 80,000 in counties ≥ 1,000,000 — only Charlotte, Raleigh, and Cary — up from 50,000 / 275,000; the ADU mandate gains a coastal-area exclusion (G.S. 113A-103), dropping Wilmington and Jacksonville. LUV fell from ~3,244 (a dozen cities) to 1,511; ADU from 4,524 to 4,298.
De-duplication at the headline (SB 495 and SB 736)
- SB 445’s ADU (4,298, cities ≥ 50k outside the coastal area) is a subset of the statewide ADU that the still-pending SB 495 and SB 736 each also propose. To avoid counting those homes twice, they are netted out of the headline — only at the headline. Both bills keep their full numbers (SB 495 = 9,360, SB 736 = 12,150), each is flagged with a dagger and a footnote, and each carries a new
homes_counted_elsewhere = 4,298 in the data.
- The flag is a mechanism, not a hand-edit: the doc headline,
audit_document.R, and scorecard_workbook.py all subtract it, so all three reconcile and the de-dup can’t be silently dropped. The SB 495 ↔︎ SB 736 mutual overlap (both cover the smaller/coastal cities) is left in, per the document’s existing “not de-duplicated” footnote — neither is enacted.
MI HB 5529
bill_link was a stray description (“500 square feet in areas served by public water and sewer statewide.”); corrected to the bill’s URL.
Scale (v6 vs the v5 line)
- Total projected homes/year: 300,120 → 297,333 (+5,809 SB 445; −8,596 for the SB 495 and SB 736 overlap with SB 445, 4,298 each)
- Enacted states 6 → 7 (North Carolina joins); enacted bills 8 → 9; enacted homes/year 66,800 → 72,609
- Pending homes/year 233,320 → 224,724; ADU-only total 150,780 → 146,482 (SB 495 only); all bills incl. failed 563,665 → 560,878
- Enacted-row small print updated for NC’s addition (attributable delta applied to the document’s own figures).
The 300,120 base reflects the v4/v5 reconciliation (see the v4 redline); the last deployed hero was 304,770 (v1).
2026-08-17 (August 17 v1 update)
Legislative status reconciliation, a North Carolina re-estimate, and two stale-percentage fixes
Source: AEI 2026 State Housing Supply Legislation Update 8.17.2026 v1
Scale
- Total projected homes/year: 299,140 → 304,770 (hero rounds to 305,000/year)
- States with live aligned bills: 16 → 17 (Maryland joins); enacted states 5 → 6
- Enacted homes/year: 63,880 → 66,800; pending 235,260 → 237,970; failed 246,495 → 244,165
Status corrections (25 bills, verified against primary state sources)
- Enacted, previously pending: DE HB 450 (as HS 1, Vol. 85 Ch. 344), DE SB 23 (as SS 2), ME LD 128 (Ch. 554), ME LD 161, NC SB 445 (S.L. 2026-59), RI H 8005 (as Sub A), WA HB 1859 (Ch. 2), HB 2228 (Ch. 4), HB 2304 (Ch. 7), SB 5156 (Ch. 145), FL HB 1389 (Ch. 2026-179), FL HB 399 (Ch. 2026-7)
- Enacted, previously awaiting governor: MD HB 548 / SB 325 (Ch. 591 / 590), MD SB 829 / HB 1137 (Ch. 725 / 726, provisions still stripped)
- Failed, previously pending: CO HB26-1119, FL SB 354 / HB 299, NH SB 435, NH HB 1357
- MD SB 389 → HB 894: SB 389 died in conference, but companion HB 894 carries the same title and became Chapter 592. 2,920 homes/year moves from the failed column to enacted; the pair is untwinned so
is_dead alone dedupes. The methodology note explaining that figure moved with it — notes are attributed by the bill their heading names, so it would otherwise have been orphaned against a bill number no longer on the tracker
- Twin splits: FL SB 1548 / HB 1389 and FL SB 208 / HB 399 diverged — the Senate bills were laid on the table after the House versions passed, so each row now follows the enacted House bill
Entries that no longer described their bill
- CA AB 1294, SB 908, SB 1216: all three gutted and amended, now a welfare-exemption tax bill, a windows bill, and a Budget Act appropriation. AB 1294 and SB 908 move KISS → No Alignment
- HI SB 2607: wrong bill number — SB 2607 is landscape architect licensure; the inclusionary-zoning exemption is SB 2190, already its own row
- MA S.964 / H.1542 → S2647 / H4699: both original bills accompanied new drafts and are inactive; the entry now carries the successor numbers and links to S2647
- VA HB 418: incorporated into HB 655, which passed. HB 418 remains its own enacted entry, as does the HB 655 / SB 346 pair; all three are KISS and carry no projection, so there is no homes double-count, but Virginia does show three enacted KISS bills for what is one policy
Estimates
- NC SB 736 / SB 1055: Option #1 re-estimated on the general 8 units/acre reading — the density floor applies to all residentially zoned land in jurisdictions over 10,000, not just within a half mile of transit. 80 → 2,790 homes/year; bill total 9,440 → 12,150. Option #2 (statewide ADU mandate) unchanged at 9,360. The methodology note was corrected on 8/18: an earlier draft described § 160D-917.2(a)’s lot-size clause as barring lots larger than a quarter acre, which is backwards. The clause is a floor under lot size; modelling the density clause as the binding one is a choice about which clause governs, and the note now says so
- IA SF 2442: quantified for the first time — 590 homes/year (Option #1 520, Option #2 70), 13% of Iowa’s Playbook Options #1–3 total, Weak. Methodology note added: the bill reaches unincorporated county land only, sets no minimum lot size (13 homes/acre assumed for Option #1), and is modelled at the standard 8-unit light-touch ceiling rather than the 12 units it allows
- CT SB 151: homes were right (1,120) but both percentages were computed against roughly 1,300 and never revised. Increase over 2010–2023 20% → 17%; share of Playbook option total 24% → 21%. Ranking stays Moderate
Notes
- The “% increase over 2010–2023” column is
acs_annual_count_2010_2023 from the Playbook master data; it reproduces 22 of 24 published percentages, and NC’s 63,927 reproduces the previously published 15%
- Scorecard cells were changed only where
index.qmd’s own computation reproduces the v4 published value exactly (hero total, enacted row, both passed rows, pending homes). The KISS, no-alignment and bills-tracked rows use a different, partly manual basis and were left as they were
2026-07-18 (June 29 v4 update)

2026-06-03 (June 2026 update)
Updated to the June 2, 2026 source document; scorecard split into stacked State and Bill rows
Source: AEI 2026 State Housing Supply Legislation Update 6.2.26 Final
Scorecard
- The “2026 Scorecard” is now two stacked rows — States (unchanged counts) on top and a new Bills row below — mirroring the source document’s new
# States / # Bills columns. Bill counts are derived from the data, counting individual bills (primary twins). The State and Bill KISS chips use different definitions by design (States = states whose only Playbook-relevant bills are KISS; Bills = every KISS-aligned bill), matching the doc.
Data
- Hawaii HB 1725 (Building Code Update Cycle): No Alignment → KISS (per the 6.2 doc).
- New York S.852 (Homebuyer Renovation Property Tax Exemption Act): corrected No Alignment → KISS to match the source document’s listing.
- Utah HB 184: confirmed FAILED (failed in the House); already reflected in the data.
- Hero total unchanged (279,820 homes/year); “Updated June 2026”.
