Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 18944.41 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to building standards.

AI Summary

This bill makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to existing California law regarding the construction of straw-bale structures. Currently, interim rules for using straw bales in construction are in place while the California Building Standards Commission evaluates them. These interim rules are set to become inactive once official building standards are adopted that allow for straw-bale construction and deem it safe. This bill simply clarifies the wording related to when these interim provisions will cease to be in effect, ensuring that the transition to official building standards for straw-bale construction is handled smoothly.
