The department may request any information from other state agencies, local governments, or individuals, or organizations that is reasonably necessary for the department to prepare the analysis.
(b) A bill that requires a housing impact analysis under this section shall have that requirement noted on its jacket when the jacket is prepared.

1. The policies, strategies and recommendations of the state housing strategy plan.
2. The cost of developing, constructing, rehabilitating, improving, maintaining, or owning single-family or multifamily dwellings.
3. The purchase price of new homes or the fair market value of existing homes.

The department shall include a brief summary or worksheet of computations used in determining any such dollar figures.
2. If, after careful consideration, the department determines that it is not possible to make an estimate expressed as dollar figures as provided in subd. 1., the analysis shall instead contain a statement to that effect setting forth the reasons for that determination.
(d) Except as otherwise specified in par. (a), a housing impact analysis shall be prepared on the basis of a median-priced single-family residence but may include estimates for larger developments as an analysis of the long-term effect of the bill.
