Bill > HB4203

This bill requires the Oklahoma Universal Building Code Commission to develop guidelines and make changes to the International Building Code, which is a set of standards used for building construction, to allow certain types of residential buildings, specifically Group R-2 occupancies (like apartment buildings or dormitories), to have only one exit if they are no more than four stories high above the ground. This change is intended to provide flexibility in building design while maintaining safety. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2026.
