AI Summary
This bill amends existing Kentucky law, specifically KRS 198B.050, which outlines the Uniform State Building Code. The key provisions exempt certain temporary structures from state building code compliance if they are erected by or for a state or government agency, city, or municipality, and are intended for use for less than six months. This exemption also applies to portable or temporary shower or toilet units. However, after six months, these temporary structures and units must either be inspected and brought into compliance with the building codes or be removed, unless a state of emergency has been declared. The bill aims to provide flexibility for temporary structures used by government entities and for essential facilities like temporary restrooms during specific periods.
