Bill > H3404

This bill amends the State Building Code by requiring that before any amendment is adopted, a study or fiscal note must be included to clearly explain any additional costs associated with the proposed change, covering expenses like materials, construction, administration, operation, and maintenance. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the board responsible for adopting amendments cannot approve any that impose additional costs until 60 days after filing a detailed explanation of the amendment's impacts and reasons with the clerk of the house of representatives, who will then refer it to the joint committee on state administration and regulatory oversight for their review and potential recommendations. This process aims to provide greater transparency and consideration of financial implications before changes to building codes are finalized.
