Bill > H2893

This bill amends Section 97 of Chapter 143 of the General Laws, which pertains to the state building code, by adding a new paragraph that prohibits the state board responsible for the building code from approving any amendment that would allow individual cities or towns to choose whether or not to adopt it. In simpler terms, this means that if the state updates its building code, all cities and towns must follow the new rules, and they cannot opt out or pick and choose which parts to implement on a local level. This change aims to ensure uniformity in building code regulations across the state.
