AB 828

Under current law, the Department of Safety and Professional Services

promulgates rules that establish standards for all of the following:

1. The design, construction, maintenance, and inspection of public buildings

and places of employment, commonly called the “commercial building code.”

2. The construction and inspection of one-family and two-family dwellings,

commonly called the “uniform dwelling code.”

3. The use of building materials, methods, and equipment in the manufacture

and installation of modular homes for use as dwellings or dwelling units.

This bill requires DSPS, in promulgating those rules, to require the use of

radon-resistant construction materials and techniques in new construction of public

buildings, places of employment, one-family and two-family dwellings, and modular

homes.
