Growth Management Act & Infrastructure (2025)

Senate Page, Katelyn Kawamura, asks Senate Housing Committee Chair, Jessica Bateman (D) 22nd District, and Ranking Member, Keith Goehner (R) 12th District, "...In my research, I learned about the Growth Management Act and its limits on urbanization of rural regions. What plans does the Housing Committee have to ensure surrounding infrastructure and facilities are able to compensate for increased population growth in urban areas?”

The Senate Housing Committee considers issues relating to:
Housing affordability and stability
Mobile home parks
Landlord tenant issues
Land use issues primarily related to housing
Homelessness prevention
