SB 443 (2022)
Require state approval of local changes to building code
This bill became law.
Requires the building code review board to review proposed local amendments to the state building code prior to their adoption and enforcement and requires the board to maintain and publish a catalog of local amendments to the state building code and state fire code. This bill also requires the state fire marshal to approve local amendments to the state fire code prior to their adoption and enforcement and requires the fire marshal to maintain and publish a catalog of local fire safety codes and ordinances. Lastly, the bill prohibits municipalities from imposing a fee to appeal the decision of a code compliance official.
The Senate rewrote the bill. As amended, the bill still requires the building code review board to review proposed local amendments to the state building code prior to their adoption and enforcement. The bill then clarifies that local fee schedules are not considered amendments to the code and that no fee shall be required to appeal a notice of code violation.
The House amended the bill to also require the state fire marshal to review local amendments to the state fire code prior to enforcement and to publish local amendments to the state fire code.
