Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to buildings; to amend section 71-6403, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, and section 71-6406, Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025; to adopt updates to building and energy codes; and to repeal the original sections.
AI Summary
This bill updates the state building code by adopting newer editions of several model building codes, including the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), which are sets of standards for building construction and safety. Specifically, it references the 2024 editions of the IBC and IRC, replacing older 2018 editions for certain chapters, while retaining some exceptions and specific sections from the older editions. The bill also amends provisions related to local building codes, allowing counties, cities, and villages to adopt codes that generally conform to the state building code, and requires them to notify the Department of Water, Energy, and Environment if they modify specific chapters of the IBC or IRC. This legislation aims to ensure that building and energy codes are current and that local jurisdictions can adapt them to local conditions while maintaining overall safety and efficiency standards.
