Dan Newhouse R) were part of strong majorities supporting the legislation. The bill is a collection of measures focusing on the supply side of the housing equation: things that might make it easier for prospective owners to buy a home and for potential home builders to start constructing.But President Trump hasn't signed it, even though it's on his desk.
