What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Dwelling Code Council in the Department of Safety and

Professional Services (DSPS) recommends a uniform dwelling code for adoption by

DSPS and makes other recommendations to DSPS concerning the regulation of one-

and two-family dwellings. This bill renames that council the Uniform Dwelling

Code Council.

Also under current law, the Building Code Council in DSPS advises DSPS about

the rules of DSPS and other issues related to the construction, repair, and

maintenance of public buildings and buildings that are places of employment. This

bill renames that council the Commercial Building Code Council.
