What’s in it

This bill relates to the state building code Act. The bill requires that the rules adopted by the state building code commissioner, with the approval of the state building code advisory council, conform to the most recent edition of the international code council’s international energy conservation code. Additionally, the bill provides that nothing in the state building code Act shall be construed to prohibit a governmental subdivision from adopting building regulations that contain more stringent energy conservation requirements than those in the state building code. The bill takes effect on the date the international code council publishes the 2021 edition of the international energy conservation code.
