as we roll back the federal regulations ... we decrease the federal regulations as well
Reduce federal housing regulations as part of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists H.R.6644's latest action as Senate receipt on 2026-02-11 and its status as Passed House, with later steps Passed Senate, To President, and Became Law not completed.
The CRS summary says H.R.6644 revises federal housing programs and includes exemptions for certain housing-related activities from environmental review and eliminates the permanent-chassis requirement for manufactured homes.
House Roll Call Vote 57 records H.R.6644 passing the House on 2026-02-09 by 390 yeas to 9 nays.
Congress.gov lists S.2651 as sponsored by Sen. Tim Scott, placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar on 2025-08-01, with status Introduced and zero cosponsors.
S.2651 text identifies regulatory barriers that inhibit housing creation, proposes HUD zoning guidelines, addresses environmental-review procedures, and amends manufactured-housing rules.
The House Financial Services Committee report says H.R.6644 would make housing easier to build by lowering costs, removing unnecessary federal requirements, streamlining processes, and reducing regulatory barriers.
Assessments
The relevant ROAD to Housing Act proposal and House companion contain housing-regulation reduction provisions, and H.R.6644 passed the House. But as of July 6, 2026, neither S.2651 nor H.R.6644 has passed both chambers or become law, so the promised regulatory reduction has not been delivered. The official Senate bill record lists Tim Scott as sponsor with no cosponsors, so the evidence does not show Roger Marshall sponsored or materially advanced the measure enough to warrant an effort badge.
