Bill > H7774

This bill mandates that the state adopt the 2024 International Residential Code, which is a set of building safety standards developed by the International Code Council (ICC), for one to four-family dwelling units by January 1, 2027. Furthermore, it imposes a moratorium, meaning a temporary ban, on the state building code standards committee making any changes to the building codes specifically for these types of residential structures until January 1, 2030, unless such changes are approved by the general assembly and the governor. The bill also includes provisions for adopting an energy conservation code and clarifies existing language regarding the committee's authority to adopt and administer the state building code.
