Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to the State Building Code; requiring rulemaking to adopt standards based on the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety's 2025 FORTIFIED Roof High Wind Standard with Hail Supplement and tailored to the climate of Minnesota as part of the State Building Code; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 326B.106, subdivision 4.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Commissioner to create new rules for the State Building Code that incorporate standards for roof hardening, specifically based on the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety's (IIBHS) 2025 FORTIFIED Roof High Wind Standard with Hail Supplement, and these standards must be adapted to Minnesota's climate. The IIBHS is an independent research organization that tests building products and systems for their ability to withstand natural disasters. The FORTIFIED Roof standard is designed to improve a roof's resilience against high winds and hail, and this bill mandates that the new rules cover both new construction and the re-roofing of existing buildings. To help develop these rules, the Commissioner must assemble a technical advisory group that will include a representative from the IIBHS.
